my mum is worried about my first period?!


Question: My mum is worried about my first period?
Well, im almost 14 and my mum was wondering if i'd started my period, and i said no thats because i haven't, and she went really? all of your mates are smaller than you and have theres, but you will tell me when you have it? and i said yeah!
but what i dont get is why do these girls have it before me?
like ive had ALL the symptoms discharge for about 2/3years and breast for about 2/3years and same for the pubic hair:/!
grr im scared also, as my mum started on her 12th birthday:(
ive had a few cramps lately and stretchy clear discharge, which normally isn't stretchy!
well, ive become extremely moody with everyone and getting headaches and have boobs, (34a) and being VERY tired.
im not sure when i would start, i always get cramps:(
but still, no period?
hmm! could you help me please!
1) i have a "not very good diet" i eat ALOT of sugar is this the case of me not starting?
2) why did my "skinnier, smaller" friends get it first, and im not fat atall but im over 100 pounds:)
3) is this normal?
4)when will i get it?
thankyou so much for your time x

Answers:

Some girls don't start their period until they're 19!!! Even older in some cases! Be THANKFUL you haven't started. You're normal. There is nothing you can do to make it come faster, just be patient. You're okay!



If your cramps are super bad, that happened to me.
You see, females have a hymen, which is a thin layer of skin that protects the vagina. It breaks normally as a child or during first time inter coarse.
So, I had this problem and it turns out that the opening in my hymen didn't exist when its supposed to, so i NEVER bled, and my cramps were terrible.
So i recommend seeing a gynecologist :)



Everybody gets their period at different ages! Don't worry about when your Mom got it because my Mom got it when she was 13 but my cousin from my Dad's side got it when she was 11 and I got it when I was 11 so you could also get it from your Dad's side of the family. Based on everything you will probably get it soon! Your other "skinnier" friends probably got it sooner because of genetics. Your body needs a certain amount of fat to start menstruating. Not SUPER FAT but you don't want to be SUPER SKINNY either! Since you've been having discharge and breasts for a while you should stock up on pads... the time is coming soon.... DUN, DUN, DUN! Lol good luck!



I didn't get mine until I was 18.
I had pubic hair and such when I was your age as well.
My mom and grandmother got theirs when they were 12 and 14 so I really don't believe people when they say you will get yours at the same time as your mother.
There really is no saying when you will get it, though it sounds like you might get it soon.
I wouldn't worry its the worst thing!
You will regret wanting it once you get it I did!

:) Enjoy your period free time.
