I have an "eating disorder" for one, where i cannot eat fruit and veg without feeling sick. I only mentioned that incase it could be in any way related to what i am about to explain. Basically, practically (other than the odd few) everyone has already started thei period and i feel extremely left out and abnormal in some way. I have had discharge, which once a month sometimes does get darker and becomes brown, and for the last few months when i have wiped myself i have sometimes noticed blood on the toilet paper, but only in the discharge. However, this has been going on for a matter of months now, yet still i have no period. Its getting to the point where i am very paranoid and worried about it and just want some good advice. Please help as i am in serious need. Thank you.

How old are you? I didn't get my period until I was 16. You could just be a late bloomer Smile

If not eating fruits and vegetables means you aren't getting adequate nutrition (which is very likely) then that could delay your period.
