My sisters started their period when they were 12 years old. I have no symptoms, no cramps, nothing tender. Help? I don't think I'll get it, from my medication, which screws up my hormones. I had a blood test, and my hormones are fine.

It's really not too terribly uncommon for this to happen, so don't worry, it's almost certainly not a problem. Some women just get their first period later than other, maybe even much later. The thing about puberty is that it works much differently in everyone, and you really never know what you're going to get.
As far as the medication being a factor, I don't know, because I don't know what you're taking. However, if you have a normal hormonal balance, I would just guess that it's coming a little later. If you're really concerned, you can ask your doctor, because as we all know, their word is a bit more calming.
I do hope you don't worry yourself sick over this, because it happens to many, many girls your age.

Your period is directly related to your weight. Girls do not start their periods until they have reached between 100 and 102 pounds. Girls used to start their periods around age 12 or 13; now the normal age for a girl to start is 10 because of the obesity rates. If you weigh over 105 pounds, you should see you doctor; there may be another problem.

I didn't get my period until I was almost 16. Don't worry. I know its embarassing to feel not normal but you aren't alone.
If you are very thin, sometimes that can delay the onset (like it does for gymnasts)
In time - don't hurry it...it's no fun once you have it.

Some girls dont get it till their twenty. It also depends on your levels of stress and physical activity. Serious athletes may not start for years after they are due for it.
