No there is nothing wrong with you. Everyone is different. My mother did not get hers until she was 16. Don't rush, be patient.. it will come sooner than you think.

No you're perfectly normal! The average age is 13 but you can start anywhere from the age of 8 to about 17. Ask your mom when she started, you will probably start between 2 years before and after, like if she started when she was 14, you would probably start between the ages of 12 and 16. Don't fret about starting your periods as this will probably delay it, and it will probably start when you least expect it. So be prepared! Carry round some pads just in case you get a surprise. Hope this helps xo
P.S. Don't worry, be happy!

Don't worry about it, it's perfectly normal =)
Some girls have it as young as 8, some girls have it as old as 20. It really does vary a lot, as do most things, from girl to girl.
The best thing you can do is be prepared for when it does come. Buy a pack of pads, and carry one or two around in your schoolbag, just in case. Also be aware that for some girls there are signs that their period is coming, for example cramps and greasier skin.
Another thing you can do is, if you feel comfortable doing so, talk to your mum, or an older sister if you have one.
Often (but not always), girls start to develop and begin menstruation at around the same time as their mum did. So, as well as having general period guidance from her, you can also find out when she started hers, because it may give you an idea.
Good luck =) x

No there is definitely nothing wrong with you different people get there periods at different times. I know a girl who didn't get her's till 16 and another 17 it's okay it will come when it comes. Be happy that you still don't have it or your probably get it soon just don't worry about it.

No sweetie, It's not unusual to not get your period until you are 15 or 16. If you are worried about it ask your mom to take you to a gyn specializing in adolescents.

No, there is nothing wrong with you. Mother Nature will determine when the best time for you to start your cycle, every woman varies in age - my oldest daughter was 9, my best friend was 17. Let nature take its course.

u r not messed up. are you skinny? or small? or stressed? or not eating a lot? if so, this might be why you dont have it yet. if not, w/e. you'll get it soon enuff. i never beleived it when anyone told me that, but you really should because its true.
anyways, getting your period is not all its cracked up to be. my last one came and went... 9 days after it started.
good luck! enjoy it while you can!

You're not messed up. You're just a late bloomer thats all. And trust me, don't get in a hurry to get your period! I'm on mine right now and my stomach is KILLING me! You don't want it!!! So when it's time..you'll start.
Hope This Helps!
