YEARS!I CANNOT WAIT THAT LONG!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so periods are on their own schedule, and there isn't really a way to make them come faster. Your body has its own timeline for all the puberty stuff, and your first period will show up when it's ready.

I know waiting can feel like forever, especially when you're super curious about what it's going to be like. But rushing it before your body is ready isn't how it works. Things like eating healthy, exercising, and getting enough sleep are always good for your body, but they won't make your period start on command.

The best thing you can do is just chill and let your body do its thing. You'll get there, and it's going to be okay. In the meantime, you can explore the Soso blog to learn about what's coming, so you'll feel totally prepared when it does. There's also a cool how close is my first period? quiz you can take on this site if you want to get a rough idea, but remember, every body is different!
