My doctor said "You will get my period soon" ever since I was 10. He just says that because that's when some girls start theirs. Anyways, I was almost 14 when I got mine and my mom got hers at 14 so you may get it at 14 like your mom too. Right now, just enjoy the time without your period! Your period is terrible! As for your chest size, don't worry about it! After you get your period, you'll grow. I have grown 2 cup sizes since I got my period (I'll be 16 in a few months). It will all happen eventually. Good Luck! :)

you forgot to mention all the beautiful aspects about yourself--i'm sure there are a lot! your time will come, maybe soon, maybe in a few years. if you experience pain or odd discharging you should have your mom take you to the doctor. otherwise you are completely normal and so are your sister and cousin. when i was your age we didn't have the advantage of the miracle bra--now it doesn't matter what size you are--you can fake it for less than $40! remember to look at what's great about you, not what you lack--i know how you feel to be flat--don't dwell on the negative!

Its normal to get your period at 10 or 11. that's fine. I dont know what is the big rush over it - you'll hate having your period trust me. You will get cramps/pains - maybe not every month but you will get them occasionally. And then pads and everything. Anyway don't rush it. And stop trying to grow up so fast!!!! I got my period at age 13 and I was pretty flat chested around that age and then at age 15 my boobs were pretty big. You're still a kid and still maturing - stop trying to speed up the process!!!

First, the number of the bra doesn't determine the size of your chest, the letter does. The number is just the width of your body. And just because you get your period, doesn't mean your chest is gonna blow up. Some people don't get their period until their 16! And you are so lucky you didn't get your period yet, because it is no fun at all. don't worry, there is nothing wrong with you.

This is different for everybody. Yes, family history does affect when you are likely to start, but look at it this way. Up until recently in history women were unlikely to start mentruating until their mid to late teens. Now we have girls starting at 11, 10, 9 and occasionally earlier. This is not BAD, but it is generally brought on my the modern day stresses and poor diet including FAR too much dairy. The big problem with dairy is that we inject the cows with MASSIVE doses of artificial hormones to make them produce unnatural ammounts of milk. These hormones DO pass through to the milk and if you drink milk you are exposing yourself to them unless you drink organic milks. Organic milk still exposes you to hormones that are not your own, but it is a step in the right direction. Do not worry. When it is time your body will develop naturally. The later that happens in your teen years the better for you in hte long run. Your breasts will develop. They may be big they may be small. It doesn't really matter too much either way. They both have their advantages and their drawbacks. Coming from a woman with rather large breasts, DDs, I would prefer to have smaller breasts, but I know women that feel their small breasts have equally significant drawbacks. We women just need to learn to be at one with our bodies no matter what the size of our butts, hips, or breasts are.
Relax and do not try to grow up too fast or you may end up in a lot of trouble and a bit of pain along the way.

trust me you'll get yours soon enough. After you do you'll wish it would disappear. no one is the same you could be 17 or 18n even before you get it. Don't worry your not the only one your age without it. my step daughters are 11 and 12 and neither have gotten it yet. So hang in there.

I got mine at 12. Don't worry about it. If you were 16 and still hadn't had it, then I would say talk to a doctor. But, one day you'll wish you didnt have periods. :D

Everyone develops at different times. There is nothing to worry about, just enjoy life and when the time comes it comes. Nobody is the same.
