your weight has nothing to do with it. please tell an adult you trust about these cramps. you want to make sure they are "cramps" and not a medical problem and they can help you figure that out ok? :)

As the others have said, weight has nothing to do with your cramps. Since you are of eligible age for a period, you could be experiencing pre-menstrual cramps leading up to a period, but I often got those years before my period.. just random cramps. So I wouldn't get too worried about it being signs for a period. Usually, you only start to see signs for a period 1 to 2 weeks before you actually get it. You get some white discharge and some brown spots in your underwear, but that is all. And maybe some cramps, but not really painful ones.
Anyway, about your weight, I personally weighed a little less than you at 13, probably around 75. But now I'm 15 and weigh around 97, so I've definitely gained a lot. I'm still a little underweight according to the average, but I'm basically normal. Do not worry much about your weight yet. You're perfectly normal. You will gain more to reach a healthy weight balance in no time. Just keep exercising and eating healthily.

You may be jumping to conclusions. Cramps can be caused by many things and since you don't know what menstral cramps feel like because you have never had your period, who knows... And I know everyone has said this, but your weight has nothing to do with it. I weighed about the same at your age and got my period when I was 13. If I were you I would go to a doctor or someone that you trust to talk about this. As helpful as some of these answers are, they should not be the sources that you depend on.

Well, you are skinny and that can be affecting your period. But I'm 13 too and before I started my period I had cramps too. Do you have discharge? Those are signs that you are starting soon. Also, when I started at 12 I was 110 pound and I'm not overweight. Girls do not usually weigh 90-100 pounds when they start, because keep in mind that every woman with every body type at a lot of different ages have their periods. Work on your weight and start carrying a pad in your purse.

Weight has nothing to do with it. Your period comes when it comes. Having your first period will also start the process of getting bigger and developing more "womanly" features like weight gain, bigger hips, breast increase etc.. If the pain is persistant, you may want to talk to your mother, the school nurse or your doctor. It could be other things that only a healthcare provider can advise you of. Its nothing to be embarassed about and is 110% natural and part of human growth and development. The more knowledgeable you are, the healthier youll be and the better choices you can make. Get some books at the library. You are becoming a woamn and you should know what is going on and what you need to do to stay healthy and protect yourself.
Feel better and good luck...

ur weight doesn't matter ok, imma docter. some girls get it when they are 8. so this is normal. but they could also be something else besides menstrual cramps. I wouldn't jump to conclusions
