I am 13 1/2 years old, and i still dont have my period and i'm not developing at all. I am still only 5 feet.
I dont get it coz im the most 'childish' of my grade in terms of developing it's annoying me. my mom says she had the same but she changed when she was around my age. And nothing is changing for me!

13 is about the middle of the last part of growth for girls. And don't fret...my 15 yr old "sprouted" at your age but stopped getting taller(5'2") and her best friend (now 14) JUST sprouted and is still getting taller (5'6"). Humans can grow in many ways into their twenties. I'm 35 and still only 5'3", so I wouldn't worry. Breasts and periods and all those other things...don't worry, it'll happen. It's called genetics. If it was like that for other women in your family, it will likely be similar for you. You will probably look much younger than your friends in 20 years, too, and they will be jealous, so let it be.

You are fine, don't be so hard on your self sweetie. Your body will develop when it is ready to. Also don't be in such a rush for your period, they are a pain.... sometimes literally. As far as being 5 feet tall.... I'm 32 and I'm only 5' 5". Some of us are meant to be short. Plus you have plenty of growing to do yet, thus you will more then likely get taller as well as filling out. Don't worry, and let nature take it's course. You seem to be having the emotional hormonal changes, so you are doing just fine.

This is perfectly normal. People develop at all different rates, there isn't one single norm. 13 is still young, and you still have plenty of time to develop. If it makes you feel any better, one of my friends just got her period this week and she's 17! Granted that is a very unusual situation, she is perfectly healthy and it just goes to show how much variance there is in development.

There is nothing wrong with you. You just have to relax and let nature take it's course. We all grow and develop at different rates. If you are all that concerned ask your mom to make an appointment with your doctor and have him/her explain to you what I've just said.

dear, be patient, develop ment can be done at any age till 16 years, but if you are still worried then there is a treatment, take any basic reflexology book of hand acupressure. you will find 38 points there, and will find 6 points at wrist there, press them daily twice, if any problem would be there inside you, would be deffinately cured.
thanks

DON'T RUSH YOURSELF CUZ ONCE THE CHANGING STARTS ITS NOT GONNA STOP
YOU WILL CHANGE WHEN YOUR BODY FEELS ITS READY NOT WHEN YOU GET JEALOUS OF ALL THE OTHER GIRLS
STOP TRYING TO GROW UP
IT WILL HAPPEN ON ITS OWN
