No, you don't really want your period... it's not that great, believe me. Crankiness, fatigue, and stomach pains are definitely signs of PMS. If you have occasional white discharge chances are your period isn't far away.
When the time comes, I recommend Pamprin or Midol for cramps; ThermoCare heating pads are super as well. Hot baths often relieve cramps, so does exercise. If you decide to use tampons-- they're not that bad, really-- remember NOT TO SLEEP WITH THEM IN or leave them in for longer than 6 hours.
You're still young, so if you don't have your period yet, don't stress it. If you get to 16 or 18 and still don't have it, then talk to your mom, trusted adult figure, or doctor.
