There are many factors involved in when you start your period. One is the genetic factor, at what age did mom, sisters and even grandma's on both sides of the family start.
Women at your age who are into sports or have very lean bodies, not thin or anorexic, lean, often don't start until closer to 16. Girls who are runners for example and keep a lean body mass, find they start around 15 to 16.
Having pubic hair and under arm hair has little do with it. I was 9 and 1/2 when I started and had neither breasts nor hair. My sister also started very young as did our birth mother.
The fact you have grown so much in the past year can be part of why you have not started. WHY? Because your body is using up a lot of energy in growing. Also, you are under weight for even a very small boned woman of 5' 6". Your body weight should be at least 130 and until it comes up a little, you may not have your period. Make sure you are not starving and if you are, realize you will permanantly damage your body. I know, I use to be anorexic and I still suffer because of the damage it did to my body. You need at your height, even with small bones, to be getting at least 2,800 calories a day if you are an average teen. If you are really active, you may need as much as 3,000 to 3,200 calories a day, just to maintain the ideal weight for your body. At 105, even if you are not starving, you'd be considered as under weight. Eat three healthy meals a day and make sure you have two snacks a day for now. If you can't eat three regular meals, then eat six smaller ones each day.
Proper nutrition is an absollute if you are to develop healthy and normally.
Be patient and take good care of your body, eat healthy foods and get enough calories to bring your weight up. Also maybe your mother or whoever your guardian is could take you to a doctor who does teens and adults and have them talk with you about your weight and healthy ways to bring it up a little.
Take care and don't worry, it will happen in time.

You are lucky that you are starting late IT SUCKS.
Well, I'm guessing one of your hormones isn't developing yet. So just wait patiently.
Don't worry, you WILL have it, because if you didn't then you wouldn't have the discharge.
The discharge is usually before your period. And you might have started already but just like a tiny tiny drop of it.

No way to know. Everyone starts at a different time. I started at 9. I hated it. And I still have it at 42. I can't wait till it's over. Enjoy NOT having it while you can. Believe me...once it starts, you're going to regret wanting it to start.

Yellow on your knickers is subjective. If it relatively is brownish yellow then definite yet yellow discharge sounds infectious. once you era is over be certain you dont see this nastiness on your drawers.

it all depends on when your mom got it. you said she was around 13 so you will probably get yours soon.
