Every girl gets it at a different time. There is nothing that a doctor can do to make you have your period. When you are body is ready you will start.

Everyone starts at different ages. I was 14 but I also stopped eating at 12 so malnutrution was a factor. I would make an appointment for a check up with your doctor. At least you will have peace of mind. If there is a problem they can take care of it, otherwise you will know you are fine.

My best friend's sister when I was little didn't start until she was 18. She was thin and the doctor thought that she probably wasn't getting enough iron. So she started taking iron supplements and vitamins and eating 3 full and balanced meals a day and she started a few weeks later. Other than that though you should probably see your gynecologist if it concerns you but all people start at different times.

It's still nothing to worry about.... when you get to 16 and a half, then maybe it would be a good time to talk to a doctor. Right now the best person to ask advice is your mom, not friends your age.

At 15, your body is going through a ton of changes. It is not uncommon for you not to have your period yet. You should begin to get a pap smear every year at 16 though as a preventative measure. Good health!

you shouldn't be worried. the average age to start is between 9-16. if after youre 16 and still don't start, you should go see the doc. here's a little idea you might want to try though, alot of my friends say it happened to them- hang around with your friends before and during their period, and you will start, maybe not right away. i know it sounds nuts, but it really works.

No, some people don't get thier periods till they are 17. Its fine, it will show up one of these days. Sucks though so enjoy the time without it as long as you can!!
