scrazy agony auntYou don't have to be embarassed that you haven't started your period yet, you could just be a late bloomer - some girls start their period as late as 16 years old.

If you're really being made fun of about it, then I guess it's not that big of a deal to lie about it - or if people ask, you could just tell them that you believe having your period is a personal matter and it's none of their business.

But trust me when I say this, having your period is NOT all it's cracked up to be.

So don't worry about it and don't stress, just enjoy being period-free for now!

You really have nothing to be concerned or embarrassed about;

Starting periods is part of the development of the body, it is different from person to person; it normally begins between the ages 9 and 16.

I doubt if all the others have started; I think some of them are also just shy to admit the truth.

You do what is best for you; but there is no need to stress about no having your periods yet or to feel bad about it;

Best wishes and lots of SMILES

Skeez agony auntI dont personally think its bad of you too lie about it.

If they were to pick on you then I would probably do the same to avoid them doing so.

I dont think you should take it personally though.

Some girls dont start there periods until there 16.

So dont worry if you havent started yet, they probably will very soon.
