As long as you eat healthy foods, I wouldn't worry about being underweight. Ask your female relatives (mom, sister or aunt) when the began menstruating, this will give you a better idea when you will start. It does sound like you're reaching puberty. :)

Just wait it out, your only 12, many girls get their period after 12 years of age.
When I was a sophomore in high school I knew a freshman that weighed less then you and was shorter then you. No worries. Just wait it out and you'll be fine.

dont worry about it if you have cramps and discharge it is very likely you will start your period SOON. its just like everything else, it happens when you least expect it. it is also proven that the more you stress about NOT having your period the less likely you are to actually have one.

Hon, when your time comes it will come. Don't rush it.
