  1. Don't be worried at all! I myself got my period when I was 12 and my very, very close cousin got her period at 15. I remember then when I told her I got my period, she was so concerned for herself. She was relieved when her period finally came at 15. You should feel happy that you haven't gotten it yet because it isn't pleasant and you will have the nuisance of it for half your lifetime. It will come and soon! Good Luck!


  2. I was 14/15 when I got mine, your fine, it comes when it comes :o)

  3. Don't worry at all, everyone is different and therefore develop at different times! There is no rush, you will be having them for the next 30 years or so!

  4. you have nothing to worry about i was a late starter at 16 almost 17

  5. no it will come when it comes. everyone is different and everyone gets it different ages. dont be worryed!!! the later u get it the luckier u are!! trust me i got mine at 11. it sucks!!!!!!!! to hav ur period!!!

  6. no not yet-give it another year or so and make the most of it!!!! trust me you dont want your period  

  7. no not yet you've still time every ones different dont worry x

  9. Nope don't be, some people only start at 16!

    If your embarrassed about it just don't bring attention to it, if by 15 or 16 it hasn't try talking to a doctor? Or if you can your mum or sister or someone.

  10. No, it will be here soon enough. Some women are just late bloomers.

  11. Nooo don worry hunny its not worth stressing about lots of women dont get it til there 14 15 or 16! its just ur body develops and different rates, enjoy it while u havent got it hehe

    xx

  12. they will come wait till you are 14

  13. No, some people take a little longer. It'll come! I know it can feel really awkward when your friends have theirs, but it'll come soon!! If it doesn't come by 16 then you may have to go to the docter, but I doubt that'll happen. Who knows, it could happen tomorrow!!

    P.S. You said you feed grapes to your dog-read this-it's true!!

    YES!! GRAPES AND RAISINGS

    Magoo was a big, playful Labrador retriever who often got himself into some sticky situations. Usually, his escapades were harmless. But one day, he managed to snag a box of raisins from the pantry and ended up eating an entire pound of the sweet treats. Other than being exasperated by Magoo's behavior, his guardians didn't think much about it. They knew that lots of people shared grapes with their dogs and often used raisins as training rewards. So it hardly seemed the kind of emergency that required a call to the veterinarian. In fact, if Magoo's parents had called the ASPCA's Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) just a few years ago, they would have been told not to worry about it.

    Through the Grapevine

    Enter the APCC AnTox™ database, a computerized system that contains nearly 500,000 animal-related medical conditions and that enables veterinarians to quickly identify toxic-substance exposures, recognize clinical signs and administer proper treatment. By tracking cases in this registry, similarities in animal medical conditions nationwide can be logged and syndromes can be identified.

    Around 1989, the APCC began noticing a trend in dogs who had eaten grapes or raisins: Nearly all developed acute renal (kidney) failure. As more cases were reported, enough data was generated in the database to help veterinarians identify and treat dogs at risk. In all of the cases, the ingredients for potential acute renal failure were the same. Whether the ingested grapes were purchased fresh from grocery stores or grown in private yards didn't seem to matter, nor did the brand eaten. And the ingested amounts varied considerably, from over a pound of grapes to as little as a single serving of raisins. The cases weren't from any specific region, but instead came from across the United States.

    The database showed that dogs who ate the grapes and raisins typically vomited within a few hours of ingestion. Most of the time, partially digested grapes and raisins could be seen in the vomit, fecal material, or both. At this point, some dogs would stop eating (anorexia), and develop diarrhea. The dogs often became quiet and lethargic, and showed signs of abdominal pain. These clinical signs lasted for several days -- sometimes even weeks.

    When medical care was sought, blood chemistry panels showed consistent patterns. Hypercalcemia (elevated blood calcium levels) was frequently present, as well as elevated levels of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine and phosphorous (substances that reflect kidney function). These chemistries began to increase anywhere from 24 hours to several days after the dogs ate the fruit. As the kidney damage developed, the dogs would produce little urine. When they could no longer produce urine, death occurred. In some cases, dogs who received timely veterinary care still had to be euthanized.

    Why did the fruit cause the dogs to become ill? No one knows. Suspect grapes and raisins have been screened for various pesticides, heavy metals (such as zinc or lead), and mycotoxins (fungal contaminants) and so far, all results have come back negative. In the cases where the grapes were grown in private yards, owners confirmed that no insecticides, fertilizers or antifungals had been used on the fruit.

    "Raisin" the Success Rate

    Even though the exact cause of the renal failure is unknown, dogs who ingest grapes and raisins can be treated successfully to prevent its development. The first line of defense is decontamination. Inducing vomiting in recent ingestions and administering activated charcoal helps prevent absorption of potential toxins. Dogs should be hospitalized and placed on intravenous fluids for a minimum of 48 hours. A veterinarian should monitor blood chemistry daily for at least three days following the ingestion. If all blood work is normal after three days, it's unlikely that kidney failure will occur. If a dog shows evidence of renal failure, fluids must be continued, and other medications should be used to stimulate urine production. Some dogs may need peritoneal dialysis, a process where the peritoneum (the membranes surrounding the abdominal organs) is used to filter waste products that are normally filtered by the kidney.

    Thanks in part to the AnTox database, grape or raisin ingestion can be easily identified and treated. Today

  14. No you definitely shouldn't be worried i was like that at one point but i got over it ..x  

  15. No worries :-)  

  16. i dont think you should be worried at all. every girl will get their period eventually and youre still young. dont worry that you didnt get it yet, trust me youll be glad you dont have it yet because its annoying once you have it ;) once your body is ready to support a baby and i guess essentially be a mom youll have your period. i didnt get mine until after all of my friends either so dont worry about it :]

  17. omg, its anoying when people do this!!

    if you have not started when you 16 then worry 13 is still youung, who cares about your friend belive me you LUCKY you have not started you dont wont too.

    x

  18. not at all, i was 16 when i started my periods, and i was like you fretting over why they havnt started yet!, my sister started hers when she was 9 :S everybodys different hunny dont worry xx

  19. Definitely not!

    I'm 17, nearly 18 and still haven't, and yet I'm totally all right. Been to the doctors and they say it's just my hormones. 13 is definitely nothing to worry about.

    If you get to like 16 and haven't started, go see your GP, they pretty much just take blood tests. It's to do with your hormone levels more than anything, though weight can sometimes come into it, sometimes they're too high or too low, but le docs put you on pills to give you the right amount

  20. Hi there, no don't be worried we all develop at different stages, they will soon be here x

  21. No don't worry, girls start at different times. I didn't get mine until i was 14. Don't wish that you had them as wen you do get them you will wish that you didn't have them. They are a nightmare. You will get them when your body is ready.

  22. No you shouldn't be worried.. i started mine when i was 11 however some of my friends started when they were 12 or 13 or 14.. Dont worry some people don't even get theirs till their 18 So your normal dont worry about it .. it sounds like a great thing to have but its a bit annoying to be honest lol :) xx

  23. My mam didn't start until she was 16, so i wouldn't worry just yet, people develop at different rates.

  24. sounds like you have a rotten v****a

  25. Don't fret about it - it'll only make you feel worse. I was 12, so average age I guess, but my twin was nearly 16. She says now that she didn't realise when she was onto a good thing.


  26. No you shouldn't be worried, some girls get their period at younger age and other can get theirs when there 16 or 17. Yours will come soon.

  27. Everybodies bodies are different and everyone develops at different times. I was a late bloomer (about 15) when i felt everyone else was starting their periods had bigger b***s etc. Also some just make it up that they have started their periods when they haven't really!

    Don't worry and the person who said about a rotten va***a is just wrong!!


  28. nah theres lots of girls that dont get thier period till theyre even 15. i mean when your turning 15 and u still havent gotten it then see a doctor but evryone is different

    BE HAPPY CUZ WHEN U DO GET IT UR GUNNA WISH U NEVER DID HAHA
