I want my period

Okay so wanting your period to start is like, totally normal! Lots of girls feel that way because it's a big step in growing up and everyone talks about it.

It's super cool to feel excited about it. Just remember, your body has its own timeline and it's getting ready in there. You can't really make it come faster, but you can pay attention to the signs your body is giving you. Stuff like growing taller, breast buds starting, and especially a clear or whitish discharge are all clues that your body is getting close. Most girls get their period about two years after their breasts start developing. It's like your body is sending you signals.

While you're waiting, you can get ready! Learn about pads and tampons, maybe ask a grown-up about what products they like. And know that when it does come, the Soso app can help you keep track of everything so you feel totally in control. If you want to find out roughly when yours is coming, there's a quiz on this site: how close is my first period?
