I'm 13.5 and still haven't gotten my period

It's totally normal to not have your period at 13.5, don't even worry about it. Everyone's body is on its own schedule for puberty, and it's not a race or anything.

Usually, girls start their period anywhere between 10 and 15 years old. So 13.5 is right in the middle of that, which means you're exactly on time! Some people get theirs super early, some get theirs later, and it's all good. You'll get yours when your body is good and ready, and it's a little different for everyone.

There are usually some signs your first period is coming, like if you've started growing breasts or have some whitish discharge in your underwear. Those are your body getting ready! If you're curious about when your period might show up, there's a quiz on this site that can give you a rough idea: how close is my first period?
