Everyone grows at different speeds! & it's not abnormal, so don't feel bad about it. I'm just 15 and I'm still wearing a B cup! Hahah. It's crazy, but EVERYONE grows differently, so don't sweat it.

No it's not abnormal. :) You might just be a late-bloomer. Every girl's body works differently. Some girls experience changes in their body early, while others experience them late. Try considering talking to your mom about these things cuz you might end up needing her help when it comes to buying pads or tampons. :)

Don't be afraid to talk to your mom and or doctor about your concerns. it gets less awkward in time, i promise!

Nope! A lot of people don't get theres. There are freshman who havn't gotten it!
If you are 18 and you stll havn't gotten it. Then you should be concerned.
Besides, consider yourself lucky. No worrying if its comming. You can go swimming no matter what. NO CRAMPS!
hahaha, you are fine!
Hope I helped!

Nope not at all, You are perfectly normal
Everyone is different, Everyone hits puberty at different times.
I didn't get my period until I was 15, Nothing wrong with you just be patient and certainly don't be in no hurry to get a period...It isn't fun

It can be frustrating when it seems like you're the last one of your friends to get your period. The thing is, everybody's bodies develop at their own pace and it's highly unlikely that you and your best bud will start your periods at the exact same time due to different genetics. Things to look for that mean your period is on its way are underarm and pubic hair, breast growth and white, vaginal discharge. The average girl will get her first period around 12 years old, but this definitely varies from person to person. If you're ever concerned about your body's development, check in with your family doctor to see what they think!
Also, another symptom to look for is if you start throwing up, and becoming very nasueas. When I started mine i thought i had food poisoning because I had become very ill, but it was just an extreme reaction to starting it for the first time.
Hope this helped, if you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

I know exactly how you feel. I didn't get my period until I was 16, the DEAD LAST one to get it of all my friends.
Most girls get their periods when they are 12 or 13, but many others get it later than that. If you don't get it by the time you're 16 however, you should talk to your doctor. But you still have plenty of time to get it still.
What determines when you get your period is genes, your body fat percentage (that's why hardcore athletes stop getting their periods, because sometimes they don't have enough body fat), and also how much you have already developed.
And actually talking to your mom about it will not only bring you two closer, but make you feel more comfortable about your body, and plus she can help you out with the feminine hygiene products you will need when you do get it (pads, tampons, whatever you decide to use).
For now, just enjoy your period-free days while you can. Sure you're relieved and happy and feel grown up when you get it, but those feelings get quickly replaced of dreading your next period because its messy, and cramps are no fun. Neither is forgetting to bring a tampon, or worrying if your pad or tampon is leaking. Its just really no fun, so enjoy these days while they last, because you'll probably be getting your period soon.

Your friends are totally wrong.
Some girls start as early as 8 or 9. I had friends who didn't start until they were 16. Any time in between is normal.
When should you get concerned? Once you hit age 16, if you still haven't had it, there may be an underlying medical condition.
Just be glad you don't have to deal with it yet. It's a royal pain in the butt!
