Im 21 5'7 and 105. I never had a period either. I was diagosed with Turner syndrome when I was 18. My mom got real concern when I didn't get my period.Im not trying to scare you because your still kinda young. Maybe you should go to a doctor and get checked out.

WOW, your not even on the chart.....lol. Seriously a girl you height should be at a weight of 120 to 130 lbs. Being under weight severely affects you menstrual cycles. I would suggest you gain the weight properly and do not just eat junk. Follow a healthy diet and maybe if you do not work out you may try and start to, so you can build a nice shape with muscle gain to. Now I am not saying to pump iron everyday but you can build muscle which is heavier than fat to make you body weight proportional to your height. Good Luck........................

It depends on whether you've always been about that thin and feel you are eating healthily or not. I'm 5'8" and have weighed that little in recent past, but I've always been skinny naturally. Still, I felt too skinny at that weight and now am about 115. If you aren't getting your period that is an indication that your target weight should be higher.

People that starve or are very athletic to the point of obsession don't get their periods. Think God would allow a starving woman to become pregnant? Usually he tries not to. You are tall and that means yu are very thin. Is this on purpose, getting enough protein, calcium, iron? Think about it. Only you can answer that question, not us.

Well, a girl can get her period when she's 8, but some girls have gotten it later that 17. Just keep waiting, that's all.

you are very underweight. you should weigh between 122-149! amenhorrea, absense of your period, means you are very underweight and there is not enough fat for your body to maintain metabolism and normal functions like it should. start eaten hun!

You're underweight....which is why you're not getting your period. At 5'7", you should be something like 135.
