Some girls just don't start their periods until later. A friend of mine never had hers until she was almost 16. It all depends on your body I guess.

As long as your get your period before you are 16, you have nothing to worry about and are perfectly normal. It often depends on your body weight as well. Girls cannot get their period unless they have an adequete amount of body fat (are atleast 105 lbs). That is why many gymnists, dancers and other athlete's do not get their period until they do they sport less frequently, and gain more body fat. After you get your period you will continue to grow until you are 18.

You have nothing to worry about. I did not start my period till I was 15 and my friend did not start until she was 16. So I would say live it up right now lol. You do not have to worry about periods or anything, so have fun with that while you still can lol!

Hey....When I was 14 I was 86lbs.....And ya I am the shortest one of my friends, but that is genetics. So I was 86lbs in grade 9...Then in the next year was like...Ok so I am a size 0 or 16 kids...Then it was...Ok size 3....Uh ok size 5??? Then bam started my period in late grade 10. It may seem right now like you weigh less and stuff, but not to freak you out or anything, you will gain weight...Probably not bad, like in my case I grew hips and boobs and stuff, that is where my weight cam from. So do not worry, you will gain some weight and everything will be ok

If you re only 14 now, and you are going to grow until you are 18, you have tons of time!!!! By the time you are 18 you should be around the same height as your mum and dad (most likely mum). I'm 18 and i'm pretty much the same height as my dad, and my mum is a bit taller, I know i'm still growing too.

Ha, I stayed short (5'2" 5'3" ish) and I only weigh 101 on heavy days. My period, when off bc, was almost 40 days apart, if it was "regular". I feel gipped that now I have to have it every 25 days or so, lol.


Don't worry! Your period will come when it's time for you! Then celebrate it! Have a party!


It's "exclamation point without the top" time!
