Am i close to puberty?

Question

Well i'm 13 and underweight (not my fault so please don't judge) but today i got really tired all of a sudden and i felt like i'd been running a mile so i flipped out at my cousins which i was supposed to be watching (3 and 6). Then i got a HORRIBLE cramp.

BTW the underweight thing: the doctor said that i won't be starting until i'm 16... But all my friends said they said that to them too but they started at 12

Answer 1

I need more info.  Do you have any signs of Puberty ea: discharge,Pubic hair, Hormones.  Plus you should try to put on weight.  I am underweight too and I am trying the same thing.  You have to at least be 45kg before you get your periods.

Answer 2

Please don't listen to the doctor when he says your gonna hit puberty, because they can't predict it.

I was underweight when I was 12-13 too, and I didn't start my period until I was 14. Being underweight will not stop your puberty, but it may make your period come later. Puberty usually starts around 13-14.

I doubt the cramps are your period, if they don't stop, and you haven't gotten your period, please go see a doctor. :)

i bet your flatter than a board

Answer 4

the best answer i can give you is to enjoy your period-free life . don't worry about it . it has to come sooner or later . the day you sit on that toilet and see stained panties , you'll know . i got mine when i was nine ! now i'm eighteen . all i did was throw on a pad and wish for it to go away lol

Answer 5

I started at 13 and I am now 17, 5'10" and only weigh 98Lbs. I am so underweight I'm not even on the weight vs. height chart but it isn't a bad thing. Sometimes being underweight is bad but sometimes not. I'm sure you will start puberty soon :) You will become a lady. If your doctor says you won't start until you are 16 then I'm sure he is right, this is just my personal experience. Don't worry too much, feel excited!
