It's not unusual to not get it by the time you're 13. There are a lot of different things that make you get your period. You usually get it when you have enough body fat to safely carry a child. If you're really skinny, that may be why.
Your starting time also runs in your family. If your grandma started late, and your mom started late, chances are good you will start late too. Here is a good website for sex and body health questions.

There is no definite starting time - some girls start by the time they are 10 or 11 - others don't start until they are 14-15. Don't panic - they will arrive soon enough and then you will be wishing that you didn't have them! I started getting mine when I was 11 yrs old - but my sister didn't get them until she was 14 yrs old! It is definitely NOT a bad thing - we just all start and finish at differnet stages of our lives! You will be OK - just chill out and enjoy being a kid while you still can!

I got mine when i was 13 and i hate it. Trust me you are one lucky girl not to have gotten it yet, because when you do you'll want to get rid of it. The normal age for girl to get their period is between 10 -16. So don't worry you'll gt it eventually.

I"m 13, too. My mother always says that all girls have a different body. My sister is 15 and I started a year before she did. I think it just depends on the bodial structure and the traits you have received from either your mom's side or your dad's side.

your fine it's normal to not have it when your body is ready it will happen but trust me most people when they get they wished they didn't because it's messy it sometimes gives you cramps that hurt like hell but it's not so bad once your use to it cuz i'm almost 16 and i have had mine since i way 10 and i was not ready for it at all i mean people told me about it but i was still a kid so i payed it no mind,but when i got if i thought i did something wrong so i tried to hid it but eventually my mom found out and told me it was normal and not to be ashamed or worry so 6 years later here i am and til this day i loved that she told me that and i think that was good advise to tell so i am passing it on to you. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I wouldn't rush it. It's not a lot of fun. If you an active 13 year old, into sports, then you are more likely to get it a little later. my oldest daughter was about 15 so don't worry!

it's normal to get it between the ages of 10-16. Some don't get it until after 16 b/c they are smaller girls. Don't worry about it so much

a girl can get her period any wheres from age 8 to 16 but if you do not start your period by age 16 see a doctor.
I started mine at 11
My sister started hers at age 13
Give it time and you will and wish it hadn't never happened
