Unfortunately, it's absoloutely impossible to predict when you will get your period. It's a very difficult time because you don't know whether you should be carrying something around with you 'just in case' or if there's something not quite right because it's not started yet!! I remember it all too well.

If you've got discharge, it does mean that you're on your way to getting it but you have to remember that women can get their period any time up to the age of 17/18 so it could be that you have a while to go yet!!

As for your Mum, there's no real way to tell her without her getting 'weird' because all Mums do it!! The best thing you can do is when it happens, tell her calmly that you don't want a fuss about it but you got your period and you thought you should tell her. You can try that to reduce the reaction but Mums have this weird thing of being very proud of their 'litle girl becoming a woman'!! So I'm afraid that unless that works, you will have to grin and bear it!!

Most likely you are going to start the day after tomorrow... as for ur mom... just show her the used pad/tampon to break the news to her...

some people don't get periods. really, i don't know exactly why, but some people, just don't. that may not be the case for you, but it should come any day. if it doesnt come in a year or so, seripously get it checked out.

I don't understand why you are looking for a different answer as if there is another answer.

Nobody knows when their periods will arrive. Thats it. End of story. There is no exact date for anyone to tell you this. Periods do happen at different times in different age groups.

When you've started your period, just tell her. Theres no certain way to tell her without her feeling happy for you. I can't pomise you that she won't act weird, but it's a pretty beautiful thing when a woman starts her period. It's your body's way of saying that you are mature enough to have a baby. I know it may not sound or look, or smell beautiful, but it is all together.

Just be patient when it comes to your period. Let nature run it's course.

Well first of all, I will say it.
Everyone has it at different times in their life,
but a way you can tell is, ASKING your mother what age she got hers, because you'll probably get yours around the same age.

Well I can't tell you an exact date when you will start but I would say definitly before July.. maybe even June. You may even have it before. Just make sure you have a pad or something at school just in case you start then.

When telling your mom, just say, "Mom, today when I went to the bathroom I found this brown stuff (brown is usually the color when you first get your period) in my panties." She will probably know then that you started. She may even expect you to get it because about 80% of the time you get your period around the time your mom does.

Well, I hope that helped. And if you have any more questions, drop one in my inbox or IM me at: xomtin33. <33
