I'm 13, almost 14, have pubic hair and breasts, and underarm hair, which I shave, and I've never had a first period. Does it have to due with stress or the fact that I'm thin for my age? or is it just that I have something wrong with me?

I also have that white discharge that everyone says happens within 6-12 months of your period but I got it a lot longer then that and I still haven't gotten it!

Don't worry about it until your 15, almost 16. It has nothing to do with stress- but the fact that your thin, yes. Larger girls do get their period first, even if the thin girls have all the signs (that you listed above) . No need to worry, you just have to wait until your almost 15-16. If you haven't gotten it yet, then you go see a doctor ASAP. They'll find out the problem- either: 1) your too thin or 2) you don't have enough hormones or those things... If your too thin, they'll find a healthy way to make you a tad chubbier (it won't show don't worry) and if you don't have enough hormoness they'll put you on birth control. Sounds funny but its true.

No, at the age of 11 or earlier, or it can be just teenage yours you face puberty. Puberty is when your body changes, you do get underarm hair, pubic air, breasts, etc. It;s just the phase your going through, don't worry it's natural. Nothings wrong with you, all girls get through this, and your period can come from 13 to 16 years. If your 16 and older and you still haven't had your period yet, then your in trouble and you need to go to the doctor. Though your fine. You'll learn more about puberty in your school ^^. Especially at the end of seventh grade. Also ask your mother as well, she'll have better ways of explaining.

There is nothing wrong with you.. your hormones are just a little slow... if you don't get your period in about a year, tell your doctor at your next check up. You see I went through puberty and I got my first period at 11 years old and I wasn't over weight or anything (I was relatively thin), crazy I know. You just need to wait.

You are normal. Everyone gets there period at a different age. If you don't get it by time you turn 16 then it is time to see the doc just to make sure everything is ok. For now relax and be GLAD you don't have to deal with the hassle every month.

It's not abnormal at all. Probably your period will start sometime soon, in the next year or so, but you're still at an age where you're going through puberty.

No, it doesnt sound like theres anything wrong with you. These are all signs that your period is coming soon. The exact same thing happened to me and most other girls.

You are normal. You will get a period when your body is ready. Every girl gets it at a different time. Don't worry. It will come eventually.

I'm sure it's right around the corner! Trust me, as long as it comes by the time you are 16 or so. (Some get it late) Then don't worry!! OR hope for it.. IT SUCKS MAJOR!! Trust me. Your time will come, but i you are so worried, speak with your physician. She/he can explain it to you.

Oh my... you need to talk to an adult about this... find out when your mom started. Do you have any other sisters... when did they start?
Plus if you are too thin that has a major factor.
