No of course there's nothing wrong with you!. Some start later than others!. I had a friend who was 11 when she got her first!. I was about your age as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Most girls start getting their menstrual periods about 2 and a half years after they first start developing breasts!. Most girls have their first menstrual period between the ages of 12 and 13, but some girls start as early as age 9 and others as late as 15 or 16!.

There are several reasons why puberty may be delayed!. Most often, it's simply a pattern of growth and development in a family!. A guy or girl may find that his or her parent, uncle, aunt, brothers, sisters, or cousins developed later than usual, too!. This is called constitutional delay (or being a late bloomer), and it usually doesn't require any kind of treatment!. These teens will eventually develop normally, just later than most of their peers!.

Medical problems also can cause delays in puberty!. Some people with chronic illnesses like diabetes, cystic fibrosis, kidney disease, or even asthma may go through puberty at an older age because their illnesses can make it harder for their bodies to grow and develop!. Proper treatment and better control of many of these conditions can help make delayed puberty less likely to occur!.
