I'm very tiny for my age. I'm 14, weigh 70 lbs, and I'm about 4'9. All of my friends have started their periods but I haven't. I'm always getting teased on how undeveloped I am and It really bothers me. How do I deal with this? I really want to start my period because I want to grow.
I'm not trying to be nasty, Please help me.

Don't rush things honey. Your body will develop in its own good time. You will have your period for 50 years or so..... don't rush it.

Trust me sweetie, it WILL happen. Everybody develops at different rates. Being a "late bloomer" just means that when you are 40 you will look 30. I know it's a P...I...T...A now, but you will appreciate it when you get older. And when you do get your period, you will be stuck with it for a very very very long time, and you will be just as anxious for it to end (LOL--like I was). Relax, and try not to stress out over it. Stress and worry can cause monthly periods to be delayed. I don't know if that's true about the beginning or not, but I DO know it's true later on.

Well, girl you SHOULDN'T b teased! It's totally normal that you haven't started yet. Just give it some time. Besides b happy while you can w/out ur period cuz when you get it then you can't do some stuff like jump around, do activities where you run, cuz then a lot of blood will come out and it's uncomfortable. And you can't go swimmin. So b happy! :)
Take care!

Ach, I have a friend just like that (we're 14 as well). It's no problem! Soe people start early, some people start late...I've only had my period for a year (what really sucks is that I started mine 2 days after Christmas last year. xD). So yeah...everyones different...and be thankful for now that you don't have to go through it yet. xD It's a pain.
As for the developing and such, that's okay too!

This is a common problem. Make sure you get a very well balanced diet. So eat right (add some fat into your diet), and understand that some people start later than others. If you don't get it by the time you are 16 I would go to the Gynocologist. Good Luck.

Ask your mom, she was maybe like you at your age. I've heard that the women from the tropical areas get your period very soon (about10-13), however, the women from the cold climate get it later (14-16). Don't worry, you get period very soon. Talk with your mother or a relative about that. Good Luck :)

You can't MAKE it happen. It will probably be based on when the females in your family have started, because it tends to run that way. Talk to your mom or grandma to see when they started. If you are very concerned, you can have a doctor reassure you that there are no abnormalities.

This will occur naturally. Every woman's body works differently so just relax.
Your day will soon come. It's funny because older women usually complains about getting them, and you seem very eager.
Like I said, don't worry. Your day will come soon.

GROSS
Why would you want to bleed all over yourself. So your friends have their periods, big deal. That's a monthly problem they have to deal with now. When you get older you'll be wishing you did't have one. It becames a monthly pain in the butt. You should be happy you haven't got it yet. NOW GO PARTY AND HAVE FUN

Sad truth, there's nothing you can do to cause your period to start. All you can do is try to accept yourself as you are until it happens.
ps- If they make fun of you, they aren't friends. Remember that.
