    Honestly, periods are horrible, so you should enjoy not having them for as long as you can! I was always the smallest of all my friends as well, and I sometimes felt left out too, but eventually I learnt to enjoy it! It makes you different and unique. In fact, you should be boasting about not having your period! You don’t have to bleed every month, how lucky! I would be so envious of you. While they’re off PMSing and having cramps, you can be off enjoying yourself! You’ll get your period eventually, don’t worry. I was 14 when I got mine, and at age 12 I was nowhere near ready (emotionally or physically) to get my period. I didn’t even start puberty until I was 13! Everyone is different and everything will happen at the right time.

    Hi,

    I am 12 – turning 13 in Feb – and when I was 10 or 11, I had spotting and some discharge, but never got my period until April this year.
    You may feel left out, but honestly, you don’t have to avoid swimming, talk to you parents about it, confront your Dad – eek – or even go to the bathrooms every lesson of the school day. I don’t know your definition of small, whether that is height (your friends really tall and your average), puberty small, I don’t know, but it may all come down to genetics. My mum didn’t get her period till she was 15-16! You may want to go check with your local GP, if you are concerned, but I would advise that you turn to your mum, an older sis (if you have one), a counsellor or a BFF (your age or older) for period advice!

    Hope this helps!
