Question Posted Thursday November 25 2010, 10:52 am
Ok I'm 14 years old and I have never had sex or anything like that. I have masturbated before but not like actually fingering myself just like rubbin my clitoris. But I have never started my period. I have pubic hair and underarm hair and I get cramps but not bad ones, like it's just gas most of the time. But I have discharge and it's a good amount too haha. But I have had discharge since I was like 11 or 12 and my mom started her period when she was 12. What do you think is wrong? Is there something wrong with me? I have like size 36a breasts and that's kinda small but why haven't I started my period? Does masturbating have anything to do with it? Is tere something wrong with me since I haven't started yet and my mom did at 12? Please help!
And its actually better that you haven't had sex yet, i mean you are still young. I am seventeen, and i remember being 14 and i feel that my thoughts, maturity, body, and everything you can think of has DEFINITELY changed a LOT.

You show every sign of having started through puberty, eventually your period will show up. When it does, since I am a male, I am told you will long for the days before your period arrived and you did not have deal with the cramps, bloating and everything that comes with a woman's period.
Everyone matures at a different rate. While you have some of your mothers genes you also have some of your fathers genes. His genes may be the dominate genes. If you want to put your mind to rest ask the women on his side of the family when they matured. His family may be late bloomers.
If you're still in doubt the best person to ask is a GYN doctor. Ask your mother to make an appointment for you with her GYN doctor.
Just a note of caution here. When It comes to problems of a medical nature; none of us on this website are doctors. We cannot offer medical advice or make a diagnosis. We can offer soothing advise and suggestions. But it always best to consult the experts when dealing with medical problems. These experts start with your family doctor.
As sure as I am that everything is normal with you I am still going to suggest you check in with a doctor for no other reason than your own peace of mind. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

Some doctors believe that a girls period starts at different times depending on their weight and size. So your mother may have been a littlee bigger than you at 12, than you are now. So don't worry about having to change anything, it will eventually happen. Hope this helps and good luck. [ julie75's advice column | Ask julie75 A Question ]
lovealways1221 answered Friday November 26 2010, 12:05 pm: no i don't think anything is wrong with you. girls get periods at different ages. i heard about this one girl who didn't get hers until she was 16. and masterbating doesn't have anything to do with it. i'm not sure why you haven't gotten it yet. normally it happens when your mother got it because its genetics. if you're that concerned, ask your mom to take you to the doctor to see what's wrong.
