I don't see why you would be scared, unless you decided to become sexually active before you ever went through a cycle? Anyway, if that's not the case, don't worry. I know girls who didn't get theirs till they were 14 -16, and there's nothing wrong with them. One has had a baby that came out totally healthy. Sometimes it just depends on genes, your body size and weight and who knows what else. I think you'll be fine. Take a deep breath, it's okay.

darling do not worry this is very normal . even though i started to menstruate at 12 my best friend started at 9 and my mom started at 15, so you see it differs among women. it is normal until about 17 or 18 so you need not worry. keep in mind it is possible to get pregnant still if you have unprotected sex around the time your body starts putting out eggs so be careful or better yet restrain from sexual intercourse for now. be safe and be good and don't worry. please try and speak with your mom or a female adult you trust and ask the to accompany you to a doctor to double check that you are okay.

Perfectly normal. Have your parents take you for a physical exam and express your concerns to your doctor. Girls do start their period a bit earlier than they used to nowdays, but don't be surprised if it takes until you're 15 or 16. If you're really thin (have low body fat) or very physically active that can contribute to the lateness. Eating disorders will also prolong the onset of menstruation. Talk to your parents and doctor.

Heck I didn't start till I was 18 and my Mom and Aunts all started when they were 15 and 16.
Personally I think 13 is too early to start but that could be from my late start.

Dont worry it will come. Just enjoy it while it lasts. Some people dont start until 18. If oyu dont get it by 17 just go get checked out to make sure all is well. But i would not worry. You'll be fine

As long as you start thats whats important. My cousin didnt start til she was 16. Its normal. Some people just start later than others. I started at age 11. Its different for girls. As long as you start before age 17, I wouldnt worry. Just be glad you are healthy honey. You will start. Just be glad for right now that you arent starting. Once you do, its cramps and pain til menopause. LOL

It is normal. Girls can start as soon as 9 and as late as 18. Don't worry, you are fine. I didn't get my period until I was 14. Every one is different and you can't compare you to them. Your body will let you know when you are ready with PMS. Pre-Menstrual Syndrome which are cramps, headaches, backaches and more.

I had my first periods at 14. And I'm perfectly normal. Some girls don't get them until they are 15 (unusual, but not unheard of). Don't worry.

it is perfectly normal. it varries depending on your weight. i got mine when i was 12 and i weighed 115 pounds. the weight limit is different for everyone. but once you reach your intended weight, you will start and will be looking for ways to get rid of it. but dont be scared one of my friends didnt get it until she was almost 18 because she was so skinny. so just remember, if you start getting headaches and cramps a lot more than usual, you may be getting ready to start, and you need to tell our mom so she can get you pads so you are ready.
