I'm 16..I don't have mine either and I hate when people say your lucky, because they don't know what it feels like to worry and feel abnormal because they don't have it. Still though, even though its sooooo annoying I wouldnt worry about it especially if your skinny because I'm not really and I still don't have mine and my mom had it when she was 14.

Every girl gets their period at different times. Not to have it at 16 doesn't mean something's wrong.
Some people get theirs when they're 8, others when they're 18.

You shouldn't be concerned till you hit about 18 w/o it. Shayliann is right, these things are often determined by heredity. But not entirely. Being incredibly thin (unhealthy low weight) and sometimes being extremely athletic (like training for the Olympics ;) ) can cause a missing period. I had an eating disorder...the month I started putting on weight I got mine.

That is perfectly normal. Everyones body's change at their own speed. But I would ask your mom when she got her period, and you are probobly wondering why. It is because that most girls get their period at about the same age as their mom. I am 13  and I have my period, I have had since I was 10. Because my mom got hers when she was 11, so it is usually AROUND when your mom got hers...it is nothing to be worried about.

I didn't get mine until I was 15 years old and most of my friends had already experienced theirs. Don't fret, feel blessed! You don't want it sooner than you have to!

You have to be the right weight to start, your body will only start when it knows its the rigth weight to carry a baby, thats why sometimes bigger girls start earlier where as athletes or people who are very skinny start late if at all.
