It can be as young as 8 or 9 like my friend did or as old as 21 like my aunt did. No, really she did get her period when she was 21. Using that massager as something to masturbate with isn't really going to affect when you get your period. Masturbating is masturbating. You're actually really lucky to not have your period yet because, trust me, it's NOT fun. Also, when you're involved in alot of sports and you're active, it can make you get your period when you're older, or, when you do get your period and then start becoming active, you'll get it very irregularly. My friend is extreamly active, she plays soccer, basketball, she's a cheerleader a dancer and she does track. She get's her period about every 4-5 months. If you're really worried about it, talk to your mom or the next time you go to the doctor, ask him/her about it. It's perfectly normal. There's a senior in my school that still hasn't gotten her's yet. She's 17. Just calm down, don't worry about it. You'll get it eventually. On to the situation about guys, when you see a guy that you like, try to strike up a convo with him about sports, music, hobbies... stuff like that. Always try to smile when you're around people. Also, don't try to be something that you're not, like don't change who you are and how you act just because of a guy. Most of the guys I know just want a girl that they can hang out with and that can be themself around them, like a really well rounded, down to earth girl. When you do have your first kiss, trust me, it will be worth the wait. Hope this helped! [ xXxpinky615xXx's advice column | Ask xXxpinky615xXx A Question ]
