How come I haven't gotten my period or boobs?

I felt exactly like you do when I was your age. In the girls’ locker room before PE class, everyone would be talking about their periods, or their “friend” as we called it back then, and I would just lie and say I had got mine too. I was also flat-chested, but I wore a bra with a bit of padding in it.

In reality, I was so worried there was something seriously wrong with me. I was a bit of a hypochondriac and I actually thought that maybe I was trans-gendered and had a vagina, but no uterus or ovaries inside and that I would never grow breasts. I of course never talked to my mom or anyone about my feelings.

I didn’t get my first period until I was 14. It happened in PE class (coincidence?), and I was so excited that I called my mom from the pay phone outside the gym. (Yeah, I’m that old! We still had pay phones! Haha, I’m 24.) My breasts started to grow shortly after that, and they got really big really fast. I went from nothing to a 36C. I’m down to a B these days though because I lost a bunch of weight after high school.

My advice to you, sweetie, is don’t feel bad about yourself or feel pressured by the other girls. Your day will come. And when it does, you’ll soon realize what a nuisance it is to have your darn period every month! It’s nice to have boobies though. :)
