Have you not started at all yet? If that's the case, don't worry so much. Some people don't start until later. If you have started, and haven't gotten it again, then you need to think more what that could be. Teens, especially when you first get it, tend to have irregular periods. If you don't have a boyfriend, then don't worry about it. If you do, and have started before, then you might want to consider a pregnancy test. But if you've never had it before, and are just worrying about it, that's normal. And not everyone starts when they are 12, some people start later. Hope this helps!

Menstruation forms a normal part of a natural cyclic process occurring in healthy women between puberty and the end of the reproductive years. The onset of menstruation, known as menarche, occurs at an average age of 12, but is normal anywhere between 8 and 16. Factors such as heredity, diet and overall health can accelerate or delay the onset of menarche.
Don't worry about it.

Holy crap! 12 is a little early you shouldn't be worried about not starting until about 14 or 15! Just calm down, just because other girls have started doesn't mean that's normal. They started early. You're on time.

Dont worry about it at all when your 16+ and havent started have it checked out. grls start at many different times there is no "set time" u may just be a late bloomer which isnt bad.

Wow, don't worry about it. You're 12 and that's pretty early. You might be a late bloomer anyways. There's nothing wrong with you. If you hit 20 and you haven't had your period THEN be worried! :)

if youve had unprotected sex lately go get a pregnancy test. if your not pregnant then dont be worried because it takes a woman a few years to develop a normal menstration cycle. so if it doesnt come regularly its ok.
and your 12 you shouldnt be having sex anyways.your so young to be doing **** that could **** up your life or give you a disease youll have to live with for the rest of your life.

You mean you've never had one? Don't worry, most people start around age 13. Trust me, once you have it, you'll wish it would go away!
If you are really skinny, really fat, or really athletic, your period may come later, as late as 16.

Hey,
Some people are just late starters, It not un-common these days for someone to start when they are in there mid teens. I would just wait it out and be thankful that you dont have it yet. Once you do you may end up wishing that you didnt have it.
