Question...girls only please..?

Ok, so I got my period in like december '06; and i didnt get it again until like april '07; and i havnt gotten it since. My mom always says that it's because i don't or didn't eat enough. Last year I was like 5'1 and 82 pounds and my parents made me gain weight; like made. Now I'm 15(16 in october) almost 5'3 and like 100 pounds (trying to get to 95) and as I said I don't have it. I've heard that it's not good if you havn't consistently gotten your period at 16. Is this bad? What should I do? Is it because I supposedly don't eat enough? Sorry so many questions but help please... Oh and if it helps I was like 85 pounds when I first got it, idk if that does or doesn't help.

Answers:

yes, thats very bad. at 5'3 you should be around 120 pounds. your not getting your period because your body doesnt have enough fat. the female reproductive system requires our bodies to have a certain fat percentage. if that percentage is too low, it doesnt work right resulting in no periods.


sorry to say, but you need to stop trying to LOSE weight and try to GAIN it.
