I want my period, help please

Okay so this is super common to feel like, because your period is a big sign you're growing up and it can feel like everyone else is getting theirs.

Your body literally has its own schedule for puberty, and everyone's is a little different. It's not something you can really speed up, no matter how much you might want to. Some people start their period super early, like nine or ten, and some don't start until they're fifteen or even older. Both are totally normal and it doesn't mean anything is wrong.

There are usually a few signs that your body is getting ready for its first period. Like, you'll probably notice your breasts starting to develop, and you'll have a growth spurt where you get taller pretty fast. Most people also get a clear or white vaginal discharge for a few months before their first period. So those are usually good clues that things are on the way. If you want a guess on when yours might show up, there's a quiz on this site that helps you figure it out: how close is my first period?
