i'm a pretty serious athlete and i started my period the summer before 8th grade. it's something to do with being active. it slows down your development. i wouldn't worry about it though. it will come and when it does you might wish it hadn't! just kidding!

because if they train reallyy hard, they lose a lot of body fat. no body fat, not as much estrogen, not as much estrogen, no period, no period, no growth.

they dont have enough body fat to start their period because when you have your period your body is shedding the lining of the uterus because you did nto get pregnant and you cant get pregnant if you dont have much body fat which is what happens to serious athletes becuase they are so active

My sister is or was a gymnast and she didn't get her period until she was 15. They don't have any fat (main reason why they don't normally have big boobs)... their body doesn't produce as much estrogen because of the lack of fat. also their body is too busy working out all the time that they don't have much room to grow.
