When will I start my period!?!?!
Question: I'm 14, have A cup size boobs, tons of pubic hair, armpit hair but I'm a little underweight. Still, my friend is only a few pounds lighter than me and has started her period. Why haven't I? My mum says she started when she had just turned 15.

Periods can start at any time. Generally you have to be at a certain weight but so long as you're not unhealthily underweight this should not affect it too much. You would normally start at around the same age as your mum, so I'd guess some time between the ages of 14 and 16. But some girls don't start until they're 18 or 19. Consider yourself lucky, periods are a nightmare!!!
it varies. i have 2 sisters. the older one started when she was 15 and the younger when she was 14. i however didn't start till i was 17! do you play sports? my dr. told me that if you are very active it will delay your first period.
don't be in a hurry to start though. you have to deal with it a long time!
give ya body time, you may have had a growth spurt but give yourself time, and depending on how underweight you are may affect when you get it, your body may feel like you cannot handle the loss of blood because of your weight
ps by the way, its a pain in the ***. so dont rush it
Probably your genetics,
it will come soon! Its nothing to get worked up about!
You'll be wishing it never came!
Ha!
The cramps are a nightmare, although as soon as you get periods, you might gain weight, get bigger boobs and still have hairs!!!

it all depends-trust me, my mum and sisters started at 16-17 and i started at 13 whereas my cousin was 9! there is no point in comparing yourself to others as it makes no difference. As for the physical changes you have mentioned that are taking place on your body, these could be good indicators that you may start soon. But don't keep stresssing over it-let it come naturally, and dont wish it to come as like i did, you will change your mind!
I was the same as you, only 86 lbs, but I started at 14. You will probably be 14 or early 15, like mom said. 16 is probably too late, so don't worry, it will come soon.
You won't get it exactly the same time and day as your mum got hers. Don't panic, my mum got hers when she was 13 but her sister didn't get it until she was 19. It just depends really.
