Answers:
You are completely NORMAL. I was a "late bloomer". Everyone's body is different, and on different "schedules". Some girls hit puberty quicker than others. Please dont rush! Your body will begin changing when its your turn. Try not to be in a hurry to grow up too soon! Puberty can sometimes be awkward and pretty dang uncomfortable to deal with. Good luck little one and HAPPY BIRTHDAY (EARLY).
don't worry give it a little more time
chill out.
ever heard of late bloomers?
(and if you're worried that your period hasn't come yet, you should be happy. its a pain in the @$$! i got mine when I was 9)
Why do you care? Maybe other people are lying! My mom didn't have puberty until she was 16, and she had 5 kids! Don't be in such a hurry. You are 12, God! Why do you want to grow up so quick!!
Some people don't get it untill 15, just give it some time. Every one gets it at different times. Be HAPPY you don't have it yet! :/
Don't worry sweetie.it will come sooner or later. I started at 13 and a half. Trust me...it's nothing special and you'll be wishing it never started! :)
i may be a guy but its all the same, some people start sooner than others, people start early yet others start later, its just the way it goes. there's no real reason for it.
it has to happen. i mean if you were 18 and had gone through it i'd be worried but you are still young
A lot of girls dont till they're 14 or so...dont worry, it'll happen.
You'll hit soon I'm sure. 12-13 is the age.
Dude everyone goes at their right time, be happy that you haven't gotten it yet, hurt like hell when it does.
i think it's different with each girl. not everyone goes through the same stages at the same time. you might be a late bloomer. if you are not scared to talk to your mom about personal issues like this, you can ask when she reached puberty because it will most likely be the same for you.
Ask your mom when she hit puberty. If she was your age, you probably will hit it soon.
No need to rush...cramps are not good thing to have
You could be as late as 16 getting your period, so I guess you could be as late as 14 in starting puberty. Go see a gynecologist if you haven't gotten your period by the time you are 17--there may be something wrong with your hormones.
I have been 13 for 4 months I didn't start getting my "period" until about a week after turning 13 and it still isn't a full one yet it is still low blood and days aka. Starting up.
And now I have enough points to be on level 3 YAY! lol sorry.
Jk

Puberty starts at any age - you are not a late starter. I started at 10 by best friend & my cousin at 15.

Try not to judge yourself by what is happening to your mates bodies. It will all begin in its own time.

Pam
it could be genetics, talk to your mom
Everybody develops at different age, but if you really are 12 why are you concerned with that? Enjoy your childhood while it lasts.
my friend didn't hit puberty till she was 14, so just patient. and just cause you turning 13 you have a whole year of being 13 so just chill.
Because everyone is different! Be happy, having your period sucks! Not only that, girls who start puberty late, have less of a chance of getting some cancers! Don't worry it'll happen!
Dont rush it sweetie. Enjoy yourself now. Because when you hit puberty your homones are going to go nuts. It will happen like a rush of bulls. I grew up with three girls. .
same thing happened to me a year ago (lol, im gonna turn 14 in two weeks) and i was like so upset that like all my friends were growing up before me, but you totallly don't need to worry. trust me you aren't the only one. you should be getting there and no need to be scared - you're perfectly normal. when you finally hit it you're gonna be wondering why you thought you were so worried. you're fine =)
listen i learne from sex ed that late bloomers have the nicest stuff that boys like u should be happy
Hey ,slow down,I was right at 13 and you need not worry k,It's gonna be just fine ,After I got mine I wished I had'nt.It's sure an experience,but nothing none of us girls can't handle, huh.!
My mom was 14. I was 15. My oldest got her first period on the day of her 13th birthday (and she said very sarcastically, "Thank you very friggin' MUCH for the birthday present, Mother Nature.") My second daughter was 13 1/2.

Edit to add: Wow someone out there was in a bad mood reading this question. Out of the blue, EVERYBODY got a big ol' "Thumbs-down" - even those who just listed how old they were. How the heck do you judge someone and give them a thumbs down for getting their period at one time or another? *walking away, confused*
well my name is dr.phillis and i would like you to know that being an over grown baby that hasnt hit puberty yet is good sometimes. sure you cant have sex yet but thats not too bad is it? im sorry for your problems and hope that u have a good time peeing out blood.
You are fine.Some girls dont have their period till they are 16,(such as my mom) or older.Don't worry about it,all girls bodies change at different times different ways.If you want more answers ask your mom or talk to someone you feel comfortable with.Hope I helped...!!
No need to worry. Anywhere between 10-16 is totally normal. I was on the early end of that scale and hated it so you should consider yourself lucky.
they say if you dont have it by 17 to see a docter. only 30% average get it by the time they are 13. most other peopple at your school are probably lying.
