Your Body Issues

Please help me and understand that I know that I shouldn't be worried but I need advice to make me feel more secure.

There's no reason to worry. We're all on our own schedules. I didn't start mine till I was 15!  And I'd been developed for years.  I will admit that there was no one ever to be happier to see blood in her panties than I was. The day will come for you too...

You should get your period about 2 years after your breasts start developing. If you're a late developer and that didn't start until you were 13, then you should get your period when you're 15. It's not until you're 16 or 17 and haven't gotten your period that the doctor starts getting concerned, but it doesn't always mean that there's something wrong.

dont be worried every one starts on their own time. i started when i was 12 but my best friend didnt start till she was 16. you dont have to worry about anything. and just think when all your friends start going through medapause you will still have a few more years to go. and trust me if i could have had three more years with out this stupid period i would.

Don't feel bad. I got mine at 13 (was considered normal some years back, probably considered a bit late nowadays). Just relax. It'll come at the right time.

Trust me, your period is nothing to be anxious or expectant about. It really sucks. Not being able to button your jeans because you're mad bloated, getting horrible cramps, moodiness, etc. Enjoy your last bit of childhood before that, because it isn't all what it's cracked up to be.

You have nothing to be worried about, everyone starts their period at different ages. You should see this as a blessing; you won't have a period for as long as your friends.

I had the exact same experience. While all my friends had their periods at 12 I was 14 when I got mine. Now I dread my period because I'm one of those girls who gets really terrible cramps, but I was honestly really excited when I first got it. Just give your body the time it needs and don't worry about it as long as everything else health wise is normal!
