Answers:
That's perfectly normal! You are only 12!. The mean age for menarche (first period) in the UK is 12 years and 11 months!. A girl can start her periods anywhere between the ages of 9-16!.

There is no way of knowing when you will start exactly!. Just enjoy your time without it!. There is nothing medically wrong that you haven't started yet!. Don't worry!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I agonized over this too when I was young!. I was almost 16 when I started!. I now have three children, my last one was conceived when I was 36!. All are healthy, all pregnancies good!.
I am wondering now if a late start means a late finish!? I am almost 53 now and my reproductive organs think they're 18!
I believe everyone is different when it comes to this!.
Of course asking a doctor will help you feel better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

your completely normal!. girls tend to start their periods around 9- 16!.
some one i know started when they were 14!.
if you have hair then that's a sign of you starting!. the same thing happends to me !. so you'll differently starts it !.
Just dont worry about it!.
its pressuring for you that everyone around you have started i understand that!. but think of your self and about your body !. your body will know when to start and your time is nearly thier!. so dont stress out !. you got years untill you can start!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i got mine at 11!. It just happens!. You could get it at 17 or you could get it tomorrow!.!!! But enjoy still being a girl while you can :)
here are some ways to know if your about to start!.!.!.
1!.have you started getting breasts!? Not big ones, just little ones!. You can tell if you jump and they hurt!.
2!.have you started getting acne every once in a while!?
3!.does your back hurt sometimes and your lower stomach!?
4!.have you been getting head aches!?
5!.do you find yourself having stress sometimes!?

answer those and if yes, you will know its soon!. if no, your okay!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can start your periods anytime up to the age of 16!. You will start when your body is ready to!. If you have not started when your 17 then go to your doctor so they can see if there is anything wrong!. When you get them you will regret getting them trust me!. But for now just enjoy not having to deal with that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You think your late
I don't start till 15 years old (i am this age now)
It's takes time , when you have it you wont want it!.!.!.
Just be patient , you have all the signs you will start soon
If you have vaginal discharge it could be any day now
Also it might be a good idea to shave the armpits , for hygiene
Keep everything else and you will start with a few months i would predict

Good Luck

I started at 11, my cousin started a 9, my mum started around 13 - it varies completely though there may be some similarities!. Don't let it bother you!. Ignore your friends taking the mick; you'll start really soon & its not like your really physically immature compared to them so what does it matter!? Basically everyone's different; 11 is quite young to start!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you develop differently!.!.!.!. there's nothing wrong with you!. their behavior, on the other hand, is sad!. find ways to change elsewhere and remind them you don't have to deal with the uncomfortable and gross details of having a period!. IF you're very thin and/or very athletic, your body might not be ready yet!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

he me too, all of my friends have gotten theirs and not me i hate it so much!. i feel like ill never get it!. i get a lot of discharge!? thats a sign that its coming!. wow we are like twins!!!! i have the same problem!. i hope we get ours soon
good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

maybe because you only 12!? I got mine when I was 14, and my friend didn't get hers until she was 16!. Calm down, once you get it you'll wish you didn't!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i didnt get mine till i was 13, but my mom got hers when she was 11!. one of my best friends didnt get hers until she was 16 and a half!. its not reason to freak out, your only 12 yrs old :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

The current UK average is 12 years and 10 months and many normal girls will not start until 14 years or occasionally older!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it takes time you're not a freak, some people it takes up to the age of 17 to even get there periods!.
