How does an airline compensate for varying passenger weights?

Obviously, an airline/captain cannot know for sure how much each passenger is going to weigh. So what do they do to make sure they don’t overload the airplane?
Is that a reason why they will leave seats empty sometimes?
I have been wondering how they do that for awhile.

I want to go Orlando with my parents sometime soon. I have a question for you. Why did 9/11 happen? What airline is safe and can take me and my parents to Orlando Florida from Charlotte North Carolina? I am 16 years old and I too scared to fly after 9/11. Am I allowed to take a laptop, cd player, and a nintendo DS onboard the plane? I been to Orlando once when I was 8 years old and now I wanted to go back to Orlando. What things can I pack in my bookbag that has my Star Wars keychain on it? I am too scared to fly and I flew to Baltimore this year and I was soo scared! Should I take a book with me? Do I need a photo ID? I will ask my parents to go with me to Orlando soon so I will not be scared. What should I do to keep me calm? I am too scared to fly again after September 11, 2001! The airport is CLT and me and my parents had to fly into MCO. How many hours will I be on the airplane? I am too scared to fly. Peace, jedisara29
