Answer 1

its probably coming within the next couple years at the latest, but believe me, it's not something you want to look forward to. Carry at least one pad or tampon with you just in case. Normally you can tell that it's come when you go to the bathroom because you can see the red in your underwear or when you wipe (sounds slightly awkward but its true). Chances are it will probably catch you by surprise the first time, that's why you want to be prepared.

As for zits, wash your face regularly (once a day should be sufficient) and it should stay under control. Otherwise, there are face wipes or facewashs (Neutrogena, etc) that can help. I use Clearasil I believe and it works pretty well. There really isn't a miracle solution to zits, unfortunately. Just be confident.

Answer 2

ummm...the period thing is a patience thing.  i know you don't want to hear that, sorry.  One thing that did happen to me right before I started my period was that I started getting mild abdominal cramps a few months before, and I started getting a very clear vaginal discharge-- but no odor or itching or anything like that with it.

I have had problems with acne for YEARS, and from my personal experience, I've found that all the products, scrubs, soaps, creams, gels, cleansers, etc out there only make it worse- even the prescription ones.

I've had the best luck with this regimen:

I wash my face daily with only warm water and a wash clothe, I scrub gently to exfoliate, rinse the rag well, then scrub a little more.  Once a week, I use L'Oreal microdermabrasion, but I do not use the moisturizer that comes with it, it clogs my poors.  Aspirin has salicylic acid in it, so every couple weeks, I disolve a few aspirin in a tiny bit of warm water, put in on my face like a mask and let it sit a while, then add a little more water to moisten it and scrub it into my skin to exfoliate before rinsing off.  Makes my skin very very soft, and I get the benefit of the salicylic acid without all the fragrances, dyes, and preservatives that are put in acne cleansers and products.   If you just have one or two zits, you can just put the crushed aspirin on those zits and leave it on over night.

Also I break out much worse when I drink soda instead of water.  This is not in my head, because I've had bad breakouts many times after a soda binge.  I don't believe it's the caffeine, though-- I think it's the sugar and high fructose corn syrup in the soda, because it happens to me even when I drink sprite.

Take care of yourself.  Blessings.  

Answer 3

your going to have it soon but just be thankful that your not in school wen you do  have your first one my friend did and its not such a great story to tell

Answer 4

Okay first thing first.  Things to look for are your skin may break out, your b*****s get tender, you may experience craps, sometimes your body hurts, you are tired and cranky all the time.  Things like that tell you.  Now the whole zit thing may be a sign too.  But as for anything to help with that go to wal-mart or target and get some clean and clear face wash or something and use it everyday to help keep out the dirt.

And trust me you think you want your period but hunny trust me it comes then you hate it.  But good luck and I hope I helped.

Answer 5

Many females get their periods as late as 17 years old. If you do not get your period by that age, most doctors recommend a visit just to see if everything is okay. Because you are slim, you may not get your period as soon as other girls. Generally, a female tends to be 100 pounds before getting her first period. If you've had discharge, expect your period to come soon, as this is usually a sign everything is in working order.

As far as zits and pimples go, a very effective and cheap way to prevent and get rid of break outs is to buy some astringent. Astringent can be as cheap at 98 cents a bottle and can be found in the beauty department of grocery stores and stores such as walmart and walgreens. Astringent is best used if put on cotton balls and dabbed onto problem areas of the face. Astringent often drys up facial skin, so users should also purchase an unscented face lotion to apply afterwards. Washing make-up off after each day is also important to prevent break outs.

Answer 6

well like maybee its close but really you cant be sure.. but it sounds like it should be coming really soon so be prepared like bring a tampon or pad to school just incase.. and i use proactive and it works like a charmm..

Answer 7

Ok first of all don't be so excited (or anxious, impatient) to start your period. Once you do you will have it monthly until you're in your 50's so you'll have plenty of time for it to come. Though It sounds like you are progressing through puberty and will start soon (though soon could be anytime in the next year or so). Some people I have known didn't start until they were 15/16 years old. I personally started when I was only 11 years old. Everyone is different, just be patient. As far as pimples....try "Zyoprex" you can only order it online but it's worth it. Good Luck with growing up! :-)

Answer 8

for zitps and pimples, look in a drug store for a soap called Purpose made by Johnson & Johnson to use on your face. most any drug store i have been in the US has had it.

then get some Oxy5 to dab on the zits at bedtime, don't rub it all over because it can really dry out the rest of your face too much

if it is really bad, ask your doctor for someting topical like an antibotic like topical erythromycin to put on it

also, don't forget to moisturize, ask the doctor or pharmacist about a moisturizer to use for your skin type

Good Luck

Answer 9

i just started my period.   And i wanted it but trust me you dont want it its a huge pain.  I started and i was 32A and had alot of dicharge for over a year.  for pimples you can  put calamin lotion on it and maby sure to wash your skin everyday.hope i helped.xoxo

Answer 10

ya you are definitely close to getting your period. once i got pubic hair it was only a matter of weeks before i got my period. so its almost there.well my skin gets really oily and i get tiny breakouts all over my face and so does everyone else that i know. as for the zits and pimples...i beat up egg whites and out that on my face till it dries for shininess. boil a big pot of water and put my face over it with a towel over the top of my head to open my pores and then wash your face right away. do both of those things about 2x every other day and that's the end of that problem.

if that doesn't work go to your doctor and get a prescription for your acne.

hope i helped hun!

Answer 13

Every woman is unique, and so are her periods. When it comes to periods - how long they last, how heavy they are - there is a wide range of normal. But usually, the average period lasts 5-7 days, and the average amount of blood lost is only one to two ounces per cycle.

~~SYMPTOMS~~

You may feel more tense or angry. You may gain water weight and feel bloated. Your b*****s may feel tender. You may get acne. You also may have less energy than usual. A day or two before your period, you may start having pain (cramps) in your belly, back, or legs. These symptoms go away during the first days of a period.

On the other hand, if you suffer from heavy periods you may bleed as much as 10 to 25 times that amount each month (Source: National Women's Health Resource Center). And if you do, you probably know what it's like to experience one or more of these difficult and disruptive symptoms:

~~Menstrual flow that interferes with your regular activities or lifestyle and causes anxiety about embarrassing accidents

~~Periods that last longer than seven days

~~Menstrual flow that soaks through one or more tampons or napkins every hour for several consecutive hours

~~Menstrual flow that includes large blood clots

~~Fatigue or shortness of breath (which are symptoms of anemia caused by blood loss)
