absolutely. everyone develops at different times. all though at your size it sounds like you are extremely underweight. which may actually be some of the reason you aren't starting your period yet. that's even underweight for my height and i'm 5'1" i would hope it's an overactive metabolism and not because you aren't eating. if you are eating try starting muscle building exercises muscle weighs more than fat and is much healthier. if you are that size from not eating you should seek help from medical professionals

Sure it is. Some girls are late bloomers. I remember I had a friend who was very petite in 8th grade and she didn't start her period until we started highschool (15 years old). You are extremely petite as well, so I wouldn't worry about it. Infact, you should be enjoying the time you have left without your period. It really is a pain in the butt. :)

NO!!! If you are under weight you cannot have your period. I know this because I'm 14 and 90lb.But there is a possibility that it is normal.It depends on if it runs in your family. When your moms or aunts period start??? Ask them questions about it.

its normal. Everyone is different and some people don't start til almost 20! Just be happy you dont have to deal with it! If your really concerned you can go talk to a school nurse and ask her for more information.

yes it is normal and consider it a blessing. some girls dont start till 18 or 19. it sounds like you may have not gone through puberty. have your breast started to develop and feel tender, hair growing in places that wen't there before, sweating more with a smell?

Yes, girls can start form the ages of 7-18. You may just be a late bloomer.

I was 14 at an away game when I was a cheerleader when I started.. Talk to your mom and see what she thinks. TRUST me you don't want it any earlier than mother nature wants you to have it.. I wish I could get rid of mine..lol

No, not at all. Everyone's body is different. My sister got her's when she was just 9 years old. There really is no age limit on getting your period
