will i get my period even if i haven’t grown boobs because my best friend got her period without boobs

Soso answered

It's super common to get your period even if your breasts haven't fully developed yet. Everyone's body has its own timeline for all this puberty stuff.

Usually, breast buds (which are like the first little bumps that show up) are one of the first signs of puberty. Most people get their period about two years after that starts. But genetics and other stuff mean it's different for everyone. So some people's breasts are still pretty small when their period arrives, small enough that nobody else would notice, and that's totally normal. Your friend might be like that! But a period before any breast growth at all would be unusual, so if you ever bleed before your breasts have started growing, tell a grown-up you trust.

Puberty is a whole journey, and not everyone gets all the signs in the same order or at the same speed. It's cool if your body is doing its own thing. The main thing is that your body is getting ready in its own way. If you want to get an idea of where you are in the whole puberty process, there's a quiz that can help: how close is my first period?
