I'm 13 ,14 on June 27th and I'm worried about my period all my friends have it and I know that everyone develops in their own time but I'm developing everywhere else but there help! What can I do to see if everything's OK?

The only thing you can do is visit a doctor to get a check up. Everyone is different and most are measured on a bellcurve. Some start at one end of the scale and others start at oppisite ends yet everyone that falls along the curve is "normal". Just make sure your eating right and getting outside for fresh air and activities. You will be fine.

Hi Ineedhelp1157,

If you are seeing other changes... some breast development, pubic and underarm hair for example, it would be very unlikely that there is anything wrong and your period will just show up at some point. As cdad said, the only way you could know for sure would be to have testing done by your doctor, which they wouldn't likely do since it isn't at all unusual for you not to have a period yet.

I know that when your friends are already at that point it can seem as though they are getting ahead of you, or you may worry that it won't happen, but believe me, after the first several times, the novelty wears off. You will have many, many years ahead of you to experience periods... enjoy not having to worry about it right now.

However, since it can show up sometimes when you least expect it to, it would be a good idea to keep a pad in your purse or backpack so you can be ready if it happens when you are not at home.
