hey well i'm 14 now and i still don't have my period. i know it's normal, but my sister got hers about my age and my mom got it when she was like 12. so you know how people say you're supposed to get discharge about like a year before your period? well it's been way over a year, maybe even 2 and nothing's happening still. and also you're supposed to get it a little bit after your boobs start to grow? yeah well that's been about 2 years now. it's so annoying. it's not like i'm looking foward to it or anything, but practically like every girl my age has it already. even my bff who is like 85 pounds and tiny. i would have expected her to get it after me. but no. is there anything wrong with me? i don't want to talk about it with my mom or anything, because well, you don't know my mom. and also a doctor because i'm not open about this kinda stuff. any advice?
LoveNJstyle answered Saturday June 16 2007, 4:55 pm: I know how you feel... i got mine the summer before 9th grade at 14 1/2. You are fine. i know you're probably freaking out and maybe even anxious & left out but really, it's better if you don't get it at 12. everyone that knows i got it that late is jealous of me. if you don't get it by 16, then you should check with a doctor but for now, enjoyyyy life! <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]
yourrtrustyhelpline answered Saturday June 16 2007, 3:04 pm: don`t worry about it, there`s nothing wrong with you. my mom didn`t get hers until she was 18, and she was shocked when i got mine when i was 12. usually, teens these days get their period early because of all the hormones they`re taking in. (i.e. eating chicken that had been fed with hormones so that they`ll grow) it`s a good thing you haven`t gotten it yet, don`t try to rush it. you`re lucky you don`t have it yet. don`t worry about anything. it`ll come.

Veranex answered Saturday June 16 2007, 2:50 pm: Don't worry chica, your time will come...for now, feel thankful you don't have to deal with it for right now...the cramps...the blood and worrying if it will show through your clothes...*sighs* But anywho, really the only time you should worry is when you're 16 or 17 and you still haven't had your period (see your doctor when your 16...I know some girls can start their period at 16...but still, better to be safe than sorry. If you want, talk to one of your best friends about it. I started mine when I was 11...and then mine went away for a year, because that can happen. Everyone starts at very different ages, keep that in mind.

yeah i mean i'm sure youll get it soon but trust me youre not missing out on anything great. you really only have to be worried if youre like 16 and still havent gotten it so yea i know it must be annoying to be like the only person left but if it helps my friend is 15 and she still hasnt gotten hers so just wait it out it will come soon enough. and yea im sure everyone is going to tell you that but at least you have boobs ;) lol my friend who is 15 still has like 0 boobs so look on the bright side you could be completely flat chested, so ou obviously are going to get it sometime soon and if it doesnt then maybe just go to your doctor? hope i helped
