Hi Anon and thanks for your question.

Are you saying that you have never had a period? In the United States, most girls start their periods between the ages of 8 and 15. The average age for a girl to get her first period is 12.

Most of the time, the first period starts about two years after breasts first start to develop. If a girl has not had her first period by age 15, or if it has been more than two to three years since breast growth started, she should see a doctor.

Hope that helps,

Pam
