The best person to ask would be a GYN. I do not think it is normal to not have your period by 15.. I was 11/12. Yes everyone is different but it is always a good idea to have a check up with a GYN if you are your age and not gotten your period yet.

When girls begin to go through puberty (usually starting between the ages of 8 and 13). The fact that it hasn't by 15 is probably all that unusual,...it will come.

Yes this is very normal to not have your period until age 18. If you want to feel better, just to double check, you can get a blood test to make sure your hormones are at the proper levels.

Girls develop at different rates, you are an individual. Dont worry about it, you will more than likely start soon. If you havnt started by the time you are 16 then you should see a doctor;

It's normal. It also depends on your body fat percentage. Are you a dancer, gymnast, cheerleader, etc.? Do you have an eating disorder? Things like this can cause delays, but I'm not sure why (I was told this by my sex ed teacher).

Most girls get their period by that age but it is not the defining age to get it. Everyone is different. Everyone's body is different. I wouldn't worry about it yet sweetie.

The first answerer is right on the money. In other words, don't worry about it.
