I'm 15 and still haven't started my period, is that normal? :/ My mom says she started at like 12, so I figured I would have started early, but I still haven't started...

Just because your mom started at 12 doesn't mean you will completly start early. Maybe your great grandma or grandma or aunt started lae so thats where your genes come from.
If you have't started until your 16ish then you might have a problem. Talk to your mom and schedule an appoitment with your doctor. I'm not sure what the outcomes of this is but don't be nervous. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]

You're just a late bloomer, and there's nothing wrong with that. We're all human and we definitely are not all the same when it comes to puberty ;].
