Normal Periods?

[shinydolphin6789]

Okay, I know I'm being really annoying in this forum, but one last question please? Okay, so anyway, I'm due to get my period today but I didn't and now I'm a little worried. I'm 13 and a half (turning 14 on October) and have been having my period since I was about 11 at December 27, 2007 or 2008 (sorry, I'm so bad at remembering). Some of my friends still skip their periods sometimes but I've never skipped a period before so is this normal? I mean, I'm not late yet and I know a late period is normal but is it normal for ME to skip a period since I've never skipped before and probably have been menstruating for 3 years at most? Thanks! :)

If there is no chance of you being pregnant, then I would say that yes it is normal. Periods can be irregular all the way through your teen years as you grow. Your cycle can go through changes and it's normal to get your period anywhere between every 27 - 32 days. Periods can be affected by weight gain or loss, and even by the cycles of the women or girls that you hang around. (There have been studies done that suggest that over a period of time, women who live or spend a large amount of time together will have similar cycles!)
