most of my friends just got there period this year (where all 13) but i still have friends that havent gotten it yet, everyone is different! i got mine when i was 10 almost 11! it sucked, cuase i was the only one who had it for years! i think ur lucky for not getting it yet, cuase when you do, u will have friends who know what your going though, and can help you though hard times (tampons, cramps etc.) i think you should tell your friends about that you havent gotten it yet! they wont judge you! trust me!

i used to be embarrassed about not using tampons (after 2-3 years of having my period) and i used to lie, but finnaly i told ppl, and they really didnt care, and i think the same thing will happen with you telling your friends u havent gotten your period yet! they will all still love you! and will get super exited when u get it! dont worry u will soon! just watch for moodyness, cramps, tenderness of the brests

i hope this helps!

Well, chances are that if you have lied so have some of them. I wouldn't bother telling them about it, just let it be a non-issue. It's possible to have very irregular periods at first too so you could go months without one anyway. Everybody develops at a different rate but once you all get to a certain age - 15/16 - everyone has started so it's a non-issue. I know it seems like a big deal but in the long term it's just part of life. Don't worry about it.

I got my periods when I was 15 so theres nothing to worry about. If you were a true friend you would talk to them and say you are ashamed and they would understand. If you dont you will live with this guilt. Good luck xxx
