It's understandable to feel sad when all of your friends have started their periods, but by no means is it weird to not have your period at age 13. Many girls don't start until they're 14, 15, or even 16!
Some of your friends might be feeling the same pressure to grow up, and it's a pretty common thing for girls to stretch the truth about having gotten their first periods. I think if you have friends around you to talk to, you'll find that they felt the same way before getting their periods.
Karen answered Wednesday April 13 2005, 6:36 pm: Well, every girl starts getting discharge at a young age and none of us will know when you will get your period. Your body cleans itself by discharging but if your discharge becomes heavier at one point, then that's a sign that your period is on its way. You may not get your period until you are around 16-18 because every girl is different. Your friends just got their periods early, that's all, but your period may come soon or it may not.
My AIM screen names are HCO love xO and Classic Betty x3 (it doesn't matter which one you choose) and if you need to talk to someone, feel free to IM me. I'm on right now. [ Karen's advice column | Ask Karen A Question ]
