I'm worried that I'm developing too late. I'm going to be 14 next month and wear a size 32AA bra and still don't have my period. I'm 5'4'' and only 95 pounds. I'm expected to gain about 4 more inches of height and be about a 36C or more... why haven't I started developing yet?
As for family history - my mom developed late but only because she was very sick as a child. My aunt developed early. My dad developed late, but not as late as I have.

If you're 14 and haven't had your first period yet, with your other lack of development, it sounds like you may have a hormonal problem(lack of same).
Hopefully, you can be comfortable asking your Mom about this, it just surprises me that it hasn't come up before!
If you can't ask your Mom about this, hopefully you can ask the school nurse, or your counselor(hopefully, your school will have one, the other, or both!)
One way or another, this is surely something that should be looked into by a medical professional (doctor or physicians assistant).
P.S: By chance, you're not anorexic or bulimic, are you? ! !
These matters are other issues that need to be corrected, for sure!

wait...your dad developed late? odd.
anyways, its okay if you havent gotten your period yet. actually, many girls dont get it until around your age. Start being worried if you are seventeen and havent gotten it yet, but till then, let your body do its work. If you are truly concerned though, go to your doctor and ask questions. You'll be growing for the next six years of your life, so you've got plenty of time to catch up

Who told you that you're going to be a 36 C or more? No one can predict your chest size hunny. I would just be patient with your body. Things will happen any day now. I've known girls who didn't get their periods until they were 17. Believe me, you don't want to be in any rush...it's the biggest pain in the rear end you'll ever deal with.

god made you. he loves you. as for right now, that's the way he wants you to be. you seem to be a fine young lady. unfortunately, society wants everyone to look like a certain way. pardon me, but tell society to go take a flying leap. love yourself, honor your parents and do your very best in academics. you will grow into yourself, let nature take its course
