Answers:

Sounds like puberty to me! :P You will probably get it soon, like within the next year or two. But it's hard to say, as all girls are different. Keep some pads with you, in your bookbag and such, just in case. I remember in 5th grade when they gave us our "period talk" and gave us a little booklet, pad, and travel sized deodorant. It was...awkward. I started my period in 6th or 7th grade, I can't remember which. So I wasn't much older than you. Be happy it hasn't started! It sucks having to keep up with it every month.

And about the low self esteem, keep your head up girl! You are beautiful inside and out, and you have a life ahead of you. You're only a kid once, so make the best of it. Talk to people, make friends, and don't let the opinions of society get you down. You don't have to be super skinny, smart, tan, rich, popular, or with the perfect hair, teeth, skin, and makeup...to be a great person, with wonderful friends who love you!



Well, do you have pubic hair? Normally a period won't start unless you have pubic hair. Also, you will normally have discharge for atleast a year, normally 2 before your period. If you start having a lot of discharge or it turns brown or pink that is a big sign. I say that your period probably won't be anytime soon (most of your symptoms like low self image and depression aren't really period symptoms. They can be related to periods but are probably another issue entirely. Just because you are angry and depressed dosnt mean your period is coming). You are also a little young for a period. It sounds like it should come within the next year and a half to 2 years, but it could come today. Nobody but your body knows. When your body is ready your period will come. Hope I helped!



I started hitting puberty when I was about 9 and started my period when I was 11. You could be pretty close. Jus don't stress about it, eat properly, exercise regularly, and enjoy your childhood. It will come soon, and if it doesn't, it's no big deal.Talk to someone close about it and that may help relieve some stress.

Good luck(:

I'm 13 and I started all those symptoms at your age too, I haven't got my period but my boobs have gotten bigger, worse cramps, and my dishcharge has turned more brown. It really depends on when your mom got her period though. I would say you still have a couple years to go. Sorry. But ya, ask your mom when she got hers and you'll probably get yours around the time your mom did.



No one can really say. All girls are different. Ask your mum when she started. You will probably be around there. Enjoy the time you have without it!



No one can tell you it's just a time process but once you get it boy your going to wish you wouldn't have gotten it. :)



You should get it soon, keep some pads handy with you.
