No, you're not underweight. You are perfect for your size.
I would ask your female relatives (mom, sister or aunt) when they started bleeding, this would give you a better idea when you will start menstruating.

It probably will start in about 1 to 6 months. I had discharge for almost a year, but I didn't have hair in those places untill after I started.
Also, yes your are underweight. I don't know what to say about that, I've never expierienced that, sadly. I geuss...eat a lot of chocolate, you lucky dog!

You are definately not underweight, in fact you are at a very healthy weight. It's hard to tell when each woman is about to start her period. I started mine after I had had discharge for about a month, but you never know. You might want to bring a small pack with you to school, just in case you start there.
Good luck!

I had discharge for about a half a year before I got my period. I would say that you are getting close but you never really know for sure. I was actually about your age and height and weight when I got mine.

sounds like it. you are about the average age. i wouldn't worry about it unless you don't start before 14. see a gyno. if you're worried! it doesn't sound like you are too skinny for your size and age assuming you are slim built like me. I was 13 and about 5'3 and 95 lbs. when I started and I was really skinny but that's just the way I was! The discharge is a clue you are about to start! Don't be too anxious, having your period is not fun!

Ok i wondered the same thing.But it has nothing to do with your weight.It possible that you can start 3 days or 3 years for now.It kinda depends on your body.
