GIRLS only

I'm 15 and I haven't got IT I'm not gonna get all worried about it until I'm 16, and even then I'll just go down the doctors. For me, I have a skinny-build and its a genetic thing. Sometimes you need to be over 100lbs (I think) and I don't think I am yet.. or I am, but it isn't consistent.

Oh and I've had all of the 'symptoms' too, for about 4 years LOL.

Don't worry about it. If your family is like mine, it is probably a genetic thing.

Be thankful, it won't last much longer =/

Anyways, my mom got hers when she was 16 and I got mine at 14, it's no biggie

I am like 80 pounds, does that make too much of a difference on when it will come?

Like everyone said its normal.

I currently have IT, and IT's not fun at all, so be happy with not having IT while you can.
It especially sucks when you have a bunch of stuff to do this week, like me.

Not particularly, but generally people weigh over 100pounds due to the natural ways of the female body. But I would say no, usually you'll start around the same time your mum did or female members on your fathers side did.

No not exactly because I was around 80 lbs when I started, but once you do start you'll wish you never did. Cramps, bloating, mood swings, leaking, yada yada yada it all sucks lol

 

[rock.my.socks]

ugh trust me you do not want "IT". im small and i started when i was twelve, i was about 85 pounds. i started on chirstmas eve in WDW when we were staying in a trailer. not fun.

 

[chisnpeke]

I got my period when I was 13.

Why are we calling it "it"? It's a period, and it's nothing to be ashamed of.

 

[Sparx]

talking about body weight affecting your cycle, the female body has more fat cells than the male body. i guess we need the extra build up for menstruation? but whatever its for, if you ever decide to diet, never drop below 1200 calories a day. your cycle will stop. and thats not healthy. being very very tiny (if genetically, and youre not trying to stay that way) is not a bad thing, but a normal, healthy 14 year old (or over) should not weigh less than 100 lbs. sudden changes in diet/schedule/stress levels can cause changes in your cycle, too. i suggest that if youre seriously concerned go see an obgyn. she can tell you more than we can.

Am I the only one who finds it a little bit weird that this is one of this person's first posts? I mean, why come on here and ask perfect strangers personal questions?

I can understand it from people who've been here a long time... But... =/

Weird.

 

[shelby&stitch]

totally normal, just got mine and i'm 13

Weird.

Maybe because they feel like they have no where else to go. They were probably looking for a teen board to ask someone their age a question.

Doesn't seem that weird to me.

 

[PosessedEeyore]

dont worry-

im almost 13 and i didnt get mine yet...

im a rather small and spent most my life at a dance studio...

you can go to the doctor and they can do tests to c wen ull get it...

i should get mine at the age of 14 or 15 a year or two to go

ITA.
And if she was uncomfortable enough to not want to ask anyone in RL, calling her "weird" probably isn't reassuring her either.

I remember being really concerned about not getting my period, I was one of the last girls in my grade.
I was 14. My mom had gotten it when she was 12, so I figured there was something wrong. But it just varies from person to person.

I sympathize with you, because I remember everyone saying "Just treasure the time you don't have to put up with having your period!" and just feeling like it would never happen and left out.
But I promise, it will happen eventually.

Don't worry about it too much. In the long run, it really doesn't make a big difference on your daily life.

I don't find anything weird about it.
But that's just me

I got mine when I was 12 and 3 months, but I was one of the first girls in my grade to get IT. This year, in my freshman year in high school, a kid in my grade got it for the first time and she's 14. Don't worry.

 

[xPrincessArielx]

Think yourself lucky.
There a pain.
Litrally.
But i got mine at age 12 i think.
