I dont have very noticeable acne. I have some but you cant tell.

It isn't abnormal but if you are concerned it is best to see your family doctor. There are many girls that are late bloomers per say. Do you have acne? I ask this because usually your hormones will make this start happening as well. I would say to you, enjoy the time without your period!

You are skinny weight wise. There is some thinking by doctors tht females get there periods when they acheive a body fat of 12%. It is ok that you are 15 and have not gotten it yet. If you do not get it when you turn 16 then tell your doctor. If it really bothers you now then ask your doctor now. It is probably better that you do not have to deal with periods.
The discharge is sometimes described as sticky white. If you have been finding that then you are close to starting.

You are PERFECTLY normal. There is no reason to go to the doctor or anything, unless you are experiencing pain. Every girl starts her period at different ages. I got mine when I was almost 14, and all my friends had already started too. I had pubic hair and small breasts well before I started my period. Clearish/yellowish discharge is normal. What age did your mom start her period? Sometimes that gives insight into when you will start yours, but not necessarily. Yours will come. Best wishes!

I'm sorry to hear about this. The only answer I can give you is that you have to be patient, because everyone is different. Some start at 7, some at 17. I really think that it will come this year, though now that you are 15. Hope I'm right!!

Being underweight can delay your period, as can being athletic. I remember reading somewhere that your body fat needs to be at least 20% to start your period. I know there are some gymnasts who haven't started until they were 18. I would probably get checked out by a doctor just to be safe, but I wouldn't worry too much.

Talk to your mom, and ask her to take you for a checkup.
How tall are you? 97-105 is pretty slim, but I got mine when I weighed 85 pounds.
Do you eat enough calories? Did your mom or either grandmom start late?
My mom didn't get hers until 15, and produced 5 healthy children.

There is nothing wrong with you. My friend didnt get it until 16. Once you turn 16 wait like a month and if you still dont get it you should see a doctor.

***Just be patient.*** Trust me, I went through this, too. And guess what, as soon as it hit me, I was like, "Damn it, why did I have to want it so bad?!" You should just enjoy the time you have without it 'cause once you get it, you won't like it.

If I was you, I'd consult a doctor. Well, your situation is kind of normal, but not for most people.
