xo_Meg_ox answered Sunday August 1 2004, 1:55 am: i used to be a gymnast so that kinda stunted my growth since i was all muscle and i didn't get my period til i was 15, after i'd gotten hurt and stopped working out ~ ppl who have less fat normally get their periods later, but who wants it neway?? lol (and this may be irrelevant, but don't be worried about getting it cuz it's highly unlikely that anybody will notice u have it b4 u do - that was a fear i used to have haha i used to check the chair everytime i stood up for years b4 i got it. wow i'm a loser lol)
ALdance77 answered Saturday July 31 2004, 11:17 pm: first of all, it is no big deal that you havent gotten your period yet. skinny girls usually don't get it till mid-teens..all the way up to 16 is about normal. and if you are worried your not going to get taller, just ask your doctor. they can usually predict how tall you will be. and it might be possible for you to take growth pills (be careful they are not steroids). and short people are cool anyway! i'm 15 and 5'1, and i love being short, you get more attention from guys. to look older, just figure out the right makeup for you, and wear the right fitting clothes.
good luck

xobabyxthang answered Saturday July 31 2004, 8:25 pm: the reason you probably haven't gotten ur period yet is because ur shorter..becuz wen u get ur period u only grow for about 3 more years..so wen u get taller u'll probably get it..and i also heard u haveta b around 100 pounds before u get it..but that cud b fiction so it's normal [ xobabyxthang's advice column | Ask xobabyxthang A Question ]
crystal200022us answered Saturday July 31 2004, 8:03 pm: It's perfectly normal that you have not gotten your period yet. Some girls don't even start until they are 16 with their period. Also, you still have time to grow. I'm sure you have a few years left of that. If your family is short though then you probably won't grow too much more. Well, I hope this helps!

LilMia811 answered Saturday July 31 2004, 7:52 pm: whats wrong with being 4'10"? I'm 4'10". I'm alomost 18 and I haven't grown in like 3 1/2 years. Short is fun. Guys like short girls. Why do you want to be tall? I wouldn't wanan be tall. And you said you were skinny. That is great! Short and skinny. You're petite! Petite is cute. And as for your period... just cuz your friends already have it and you don't and your 13 doesn't mean anything is wrong with you. And just for the record your height and weight dont have jack to do with getting it. It will come when it does, and when it does, you will wish you hadn't wanted it so bad. Be happy you dont have it yet, you don't have to deal with stains on sheets and panties, and being paranoyed that people can see your pad or you're gonna leak, and best of all NO CRAMPS. You're the luckiest one out of all your friends. If I were you I would be laughing at them, like haha i dont have to deal with that shit. But it will come. Just dont stress about it, stress makes it take longer to come. Good Luck! :) [ LilMia811's advice column | Ask LilMia811 A Question ]
ButterflyKissxx3 answered Saturday July 31 2004, 7:49 pm: It's normal not to get it, some girls don't develop as quick as other girls. Don't worry you should get it soon. You'll probably have a growth spurt soon, where you'll grow like 5 inches. Don't worry! Hope I helped! <3 [ ButterflyKissxx3's advice column | Ask ButterflyKissxx3 A Question ]
