Lov'n IT!	There is no set time for when you are supposed to get your period. Some girls start in fifth grade and some don't start until they are in high school. Do not worry yourself and believe me there's no rush. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Dr Frank	There is a wide range of 'normal' and you are still within it.You could make an appointment at your local health centre for a reassuring check up. Practice nurse or health visitor may be fine. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Esquire	Some people do not start periods until they are a lot older than you so you are perfectly normal, don't worry, its not bad at all. You probably feel a bit left out if your friends have started theirs but I wouldn't be in any rush to start them. Once you've started your periods you'll be having them for many, many years so enjoy not having them now! I bet your friends don't like having them at all, lots of girls would love to not start early so just try to chill and don't worry about it - it is normal honey. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
