Also, I am worried because I havn't started a period, and I don't know why. Could this have something to do with my weight? If so, what can I do?

check out your BMI (body mass index): http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/
also i wouldnt worry that you havent gotten your period, some girls get it later than others. i got it when i was elven, my best friend who will turn 17 next month still hasnt gotton it yet, if you are really worried, you can check in with a doctor. it probably doesnt have anything to do with your wieght or your hieght, maybe you are just going through puberty slower than other girls....

You really should be weighing about 100 to 116 for being 5'2". So you are really close to that. As far as your period, it varies on the person. Just make sure that you eat well balance meals, and you should be OK, if this concerns you a lot, ask your Mom to take you for a check up. But again your weight is OK and your period can start at any time.
A regular check up with your doctor would be OK, to make sure you are not anemic. You sound OK to me. but ask Mommy to make sure. God bless.

NOPE, you are a little underweight, this could explain lack of period. be gratful. if you body is ment to be at this size then your period will also come when it is ment to be, let nature take it's couse. as long as you do not have an eating discorder, nature will take care of you. the reason for a period is to signafy that your body is ready for child bearing, at this weight no matter what you are not ready to have babies but trust in how you were built. if you think there a problem after that, see a doctor.

Don't worry about it..I think your weight is fine for someone that height...and I would say dont worry too much about not getting your period yet, but if it would make you feel better, you could always ask a doctor.

You are fine. BUT, on a negative note. If people as young as you worried less about apperiance and things of that nature, maybe children younger than you wouldn't be so interrested in sex, mini skirts, make up, and trying to be "big". Accept yourself as you are, and you will do better, and feel better, in life.
And about your period, it will come when it comes. I had friends who started when they were 8, and I didn't start till I was almost 13. I also know a girl who didn't start having hers till she was 18. I really does vary between people.

hmm, actually u're underwt. because a female's period will show the minimum healthy wt tt she shld be at. if u're nt getting ur period, it will only mean tt your body is not at a healthy enough weight to function properly. so pls gain some more weight, u don't wanna end up having health issues in future.
gd luck!!

Whoever said that you were perfect is kinda a little bit wrong. You should be a little more that 98, most girls in my grade (age 11) weigh 110, but im not trying to put u down, and if ur period hadnt started talk to your doctor and your mom. idk if it has a thing to do with ur weight.

you will be fine, if you are not starving yourself then you will come into your body. DONT WORRY, if you stress out you can force your body to not have a period- thats why a lot of girls miss theirs. also if you are really athletic you might take longer to start, or not be frequent.

if you are eating healthy, and excercise on a regular basis, then you sound normal, just a bit on the skinny side! go to your doctor- better to be safe than sorry!
