K this sounds kind of stupid but I am 14 and almost 15 and still have not had my period. I know that up til 16 you are ok if you don;t have it. but it is kind of embarising because all my friends are like 'don't you think tampons are such a pain' I don;t want to lye but I don' t want to feel like a baby. I have been getting like a whole bunch of whitish yellow stuff in my underware, do I have an infection? I want my period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of the white stuff is not an infection its discharge and almost every teenage girl gets it. it's there to just cleanse your private part from any diseases or anything. Its perfectly natural.
Secondly , you will get it eventually! Usually you have to put on a certain amount of weight first and also its just the way your genes are.
Thirdly - having your period is not the greatest thing in the world i wish i never had one. you can feel ill and tired. You dont want to do anything, you feel unconfortable, and unweary and somtims very hormonal and usually you can be in pain so count yourself lucky
With me, i was fourteen when i got mine, last year [im now 15] . I realised that my period was coming because the white stuff , called discharge got REALLY heavy - if that happens start carrying extra underwear and pads around. I wouldnt use tampons straight away because it is true, when you first put it in they do hurt, not a lot though.
Just because you dont have your period doesnt make you a baby. your friends are ust developing quickly, you will too - eventually. And also, being on your period can be very annoying - your skin is more likley to get spotty and your hair greasier. Im not trying to put you off your period but if i was you - i'd enjoy not having it for the moment

consider your self lucky.
my friends were like that around me
i was like "i dont have it yet"
and they were like "omg your soooo lucky"
and they even got jealous.
so its nothing to b ashamed of and when i did finally did get it, well im glad i wasnt in a hurry.
and no u dont have an infection its just discharge.
ccupcake07 answered Wednesday July 16 2008, 12:54 pm: This stuff in your underwear is discahrge. It means your body is going through puberty. Also, i am 15 and i didn't start until i was 14 6 months before i turned 15. Everyone starts at differsnt times so don't worry. When it comes, it comes. It's not really something you want to have because it is kind of a pain. Hope this helps. [ ccupcake07's advice column | Ask ccupcake07 A Question ]
