is it abnormal that i got my first period at almost 14 years old?!


Question: Is it abnormal that i got my first period at almost 14 years old?
I'm turning 14 in about five days.
I got my period about a one or two months ago. It just occurred to me, is it weird that I got my first period at that age? Most girls get theirs at 12. Also, since I was sort of a late bloomer, when will I get my growth spurt? I still look like I'm like.. eleven years old because I'm short and skinny, and just look young, and I'm not developed yet. Haha. My parents both said they got their growth spurt at 14, so that might be for me, too..
Thanks.

You are totally normal. Some girls do not get theirs until they are 16, and a few even older.



I got mine right before turing 14 and I got my growth spurt shortly after that. Before my period, I was 5 ft 1 inch. Right now (I turn 15 this year) I am almost 5 ft 5inches(not that big of a change, but I never grew that much...). Don't worry, it's different for everyone, but you may hit it around the same time I did.



I don't think it's all that weird, especially if that's what's normal for your family. You're actually right where you're supposed to be. Girls go through puberty way too early these days due to growth hormones in food and excessive soy consumption. You're okay. :)



Thats totally normal. Some girls don't get their period until they are sixteen. Everybody's body is different so there is not set time when you will develop or have a growth spurt just wait and it will happen.



You simply looked yourself - are you kidding?



NOPE



no its normal i just got mine today and im almost 15!
