Question

im 14 and just started high school. im super skinny and kinda flat chested. i havent started my period and im a little worried. should i be worried? all my friends started in like 5th-6th grade! what age did u start and should i be concerned abt this issue?

Answer 1

well if ur that small it's normal to get it l8r...just enjoy ur time without it...

Answer 2

It's different for each person. I've known people who started at 9 and then some who didn't start until 16-17. It will happen.

Answer 3

OMG! Me too! I just started hs as well and haventt  gotten it either. I asked my doc at my physical and he said its completely normal, and btw, my mom got it at age 10. Everyones different so dont worry about it. Good Luck!

Answer 4

since you're super skinny you probaly won't get it till your 16, that absolutly normally.  

Answer 5

I went through exactly the same thing! I didn't get my period until I was about 15 1/2 years old. I was way shorter than everyone and super skinny even though I ate a lot. You're just a 'late bloomer'. They say to talk to a doctor if you haven't stared your period by your 16th birthday, and it could just be a hormone problem which they have medications for. I know it's tough now (it was for me!!) but you will be thankful when you are older and still thin, while all your friends who were 'early bloomers' will be short and fat because they stopped growing so soon! Good luck!!  

Answer 6

Girls don't start their period if they weigh under 90 lbs. You will grow as you get older and then start your period.

It's a good thing if you start late! Trust me.

Answer 7

i've read that its normal to get it now if you havent gotten it yet.

but i was in 6th grade when i got mine.

but dont be concerend you'll get yours soon.

Answer 8

its alright. im the same way. i just started high school two days ago. im a little flat chested, only and a32 and tall and skinny. it sucks but yeah. i just started my period like 2 weeks ago. your time will come. (: just wait it out

Answer 9

omg, ur like me!!!

im 5'3 , and im 14, and im very skinny, i weigh 88-90 lbs!

i also havent had my period yet, and my friends had it in the 5th or 6th grade!

omg!

but im sure ull get it soon, like me, i do have a little bit of b***s, but ur will develop =]

Answer 10

There is nothing to fret about.

I have known some girls who haven't started till 17.

trust me you are lucky to not have it.

periods are annoying and painful sometimes.

and once you do have your peroid you will start to grow

a bigger chest; but watch out on your wieght, okay

stress and cravings come with your period you could gain

alot of wieght if you don't watch it.

Answer 11

Everybody's different! I wouldn't worry about it, especially if you go to the doctor regularly for check-ups. Believe me, that c**p happens soon enough and you'll be glad that you had some extra years of childhood.

Answer 12

holy c**p! i just started to day and i dont know what to expect by the way, i am in the 7th grade. but dont worry my granma got hers at 16 and i guess she was lucky cuz she didnt have 2 go through the menstrual cramps i have been havin today. but seriously, i found out by going to get a physical and i started to have cramps really bad and i couldnt bend over. so its a coincidence that i went to the doctor on the day i would get my period! but dont worry its not always in the family, b/c my gandma got hers late i got mine earlyish. so dont always expect u will get ur period when ur mom or ur friends get theres. just wait. if u r a girl u will get it. got to go i  am having another cramp! ouch! bye!

i hate that i got it today! peace..

Answer 13

ME TOO.

I sound exactly like you, short same age and everything.

I also don't have mine yet.

It's normal.

I know it's hard when everyone is like talking about how anoyying there periods and you just sit and nod along.

It WILL come.

My mom had hers at 15 and so Will I probably.

So try not to worry!

Answer 14

no please do not worry.. the AVERAGE is 13, that means many are younger and many are older. its perfectly normal.. dont rush it... it will happen then you will wonder why you wanted it to come in the first place. it will take place soon enough.  

Answer 15

Everyone is different. It is genetics that makes us all different. You could ask your Dr. if you are worried. They could do a hormone test or something.

Answer 16

i started mine when i was 10

but my sister didn't start hers till she was 16 almost 17

so dont be worried it's normal

Answer 17

Oh no worries yet. I started when i was 13. A lot of girls get them when they're younger though. My friend didn't get hers until she was almost 15 and then rarely got it for like a year but now she's normal and almost 16. Plus her mom didn't get hers until she was 17, but her sister got hers in 3rd grade, so it really really varies! hah

hope that helped! and trust me you dont want it yet! its really annoying lol. You should ask your mom when she got hers, cause thats probably about when you'll get yours. Except for my friends case tho haha

Answer 18

Dont worry it is normal to not have it till 16

Answer 19

Girls that are skinnier and smaller usually get their period later. Talk to your mom about it and make a doctors appointment if you're super concerned. I think you should wait a couple more months and then go. I got my period right before I turned 13 but to this day, its still not regular (I'm 26 now)

Answer 20

dont worry. wait until your 15th birthday and if you still havent gotten it see a gynecologist, i know its scary but the same thing happened to me, and they put me on meds and im fine now, but if they hadnt caught the syndrome it would have led to other things.

dont freak out. wait till your 15

its nothing to be ashamed of. its actually a blessing to not have to deal with it.

Answer 21

Don't be too worried, however if you are underweight (I'm not sure how skinny is superskinny to you) you may not get your period at all.  This is part of being anorexic (I'm not saying you are, just so you know).  People who do not have enough nutrients in their bodies to support a child do not get a period.

Answer 22

There's nothing to worry about AT ALL. I was the same way, I didn't get **** until I was 18.

I started my period 6 days before my first day of high school and could pass as a guy until I was out of high school.
