Personally I dont think soccer has to do with it bc i play soccer all year since i was 8 and got mine when i was 11. You sound like your close to getting it but trust me enjoy it while you can. Like one of the people below me said cramps every month isnt something to look foward to.

You can brake the promise to yourself that you can kiss a boy before you get your period. You made it when you were little, and what if you don't get it until your 16? You are going to be missing out. Trust me, you do NOT want your period to come. Once you have it, you'll wish you never had it again.

I had a friend who, when she wanted to have a baby, had to stop running. The running was keeping her from having her period. I think she was about 22 then.
You may want to check with your doctor to make sure, but if I had to guess...I'd say its the year round soccer.
I wouldn't want to tell you to give up your sport. Its fun and good exercise! So, I think you just need change the criteria for getting your first kiss!
Don't be embarrassed that you haven't got it yet. Instead be thankful you have something to talk about other than that! :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
