You should not do it until you really feel you are ready and responsible to handle the consequences.  Having sex too young can be very confusing for a girl.  I would say no earlier than 17 or so, when you are thinking more like an adult.  If I could go back, I would have definitely waited until I was out of high school at least.  And I'll tell you one thing.  It is SO much more enjoyable when you wait to do it with someone you really care about and who cares about you.  Oh, and use protection!!!  I know too many people who have gotten pregnant or gotten sexually transmitted diseases (at any age)!!!

there really is not set standard as to when you're gonna get boobs. some people just sprout late. your period will change while you're going thru puberty. but some days during your period may always be heavier then others. everyone's bodies are different.

There's nothing wrong with you. Be glad you haven't got your period yet. Growing up is not fun at all, you get grouchier and things get more complicated. So enjoy this time while you have it a little longer and don't stress over it. You are normal and get to be free a lil longer!

I dont know it's different for every woman. or girl. When you feel ready and comfortable and safe enough to explore sex. I had my first real kiss when i was 11. I lost my virginity at 14. I feel that i was ready. And today I am 20 and tottally comfortable with my body and with sex. But make sure your safe! I got pregnant when i was 17. I dont regret it now. but i was pretty floored when i fist found out. So please be safe!

Puberty\nInformation for Boys and Girls\nPublic Education Brochure \n \nAs part of growing up, you will go through puberty. Puberty is the time in your life when your body changes from that of a child to that of an adult. These changes are caused by chemicals in the body called hormones. Because there are so many changes that happen during puberty, you may feel like your body is out of control. In time, your hormones will balance out and your body will catch up.\nNot only does your body change, but your emotions change too. How you think and feel about yourself, your family and friends, and your whole world, may seem different. As you go through puberty, you will begin to make important decisions for yourself, take on more responsibilities, and become more independent.\nIf you are already going through some of these changes, you may be asking yourself, "Am I normal?" or "Do other people my age feel the way I do?" Don't worry. Lots of changes happen during puberty and, although it can be a confusing time of life, it can be exciting.\nThis brochure was written to help you understand and deal with the changes puberty brings. Part 1 is about the changes girls go through during puberty. Part 2 is about the changes boys go through during puberty. Part 3 contains information for both girls and boys about the emotional changes during puberty. After you read the whole brochure you will learn not only about the changes you are going through, but also about the changes that are happening to the opposite sex.\nPart 1: Information for Girls\nPuberty is the time in a girl's life when her body changes from that of a young girl to that of a woman. It is also the time when a girl becomes physically able to have babies. Although there is no "right" time for puberty to begin, it generally starts earlier for a girl than it does for a boy - usually between 9 and 13 years of age. This is why many girls are taller and may act more mature than boys for a few years until the boys catch up.\nHow will my body change?\nFollowing are some of the changes your body will go through during puberty:\nBreasts: In most girls, puberty starts with breast growth. When your breasts start to develop, you may notice small, tender lumps under one or both nipples that will get bigger over the next few years. When breasts first begin to develop, it is not unusual for one breast to be larger than the other. However, as they develop, they will most likely even out before they reach their final size and shape. As your breasts develop, you may need a bra. Some girls feel that wearing a bra for the first time is exciting - it is the first step toward becoming a woman! However, some girls feel embarrassed, especially if they are among the first of their friends to need a bra. If the people around you make a bigger deal of your first bra than you would like, try to remember that they do not mean to embarrass you, they are just proud of how much you have grown.\nHair: Soft hair will start to grow in the pubic area (the area between your legs). This hair will eventually become thick and very curly. You may also notice hair under your arms and on your legs. Many women shave this hair. There is no medical reason to shave, it is simply a personal choice. If you decide to shave, be sure to use a lot of soap and water and a clean razor made for women. It is a good idea to use your own personal razor or electric shaver and not to share one with your family or friends.\nBody shape: Hips get wider and your waist will get smaller. Your body will also begin to build up fat in the stomach, buttocks, and legs. This is normal and gives your body the curvier shape of a woman.\nBody size: Arms, legs, hands, and feet may grow faster than the rest of your body. Until the rest of your body catches up, you may feel a little clumsier than usual. \nSkin: Skin may get more oily and you may notice you sweat more. This is because your glands are growing too.

In these days, it's not really too early.  Girls younger than 10 get their periods, like at 7 or 8.  I'm not really sure why girls get it younger now, but it happens.  I got mine when I was 11. Which was in '93, so wasn't too back in the dinosaur age. *laughs* So I wouldn't be worried.

I think 16 is the appropriate age.  That's when I started dating.  By then you have a better idea of guys and what they are like.  But I guess it really depends on the individual.  I know I won't let my daughter date until 16.

I would say only when she begins to feel self conscious about them.  Some people I'm sure will say not before age X, but in today's world the children are under more and more pressure to look a certain way and they may be more concerned about it than previous generations.  If a girl is worried about her legs then it may be okay to let her shave.  I would say no earlier than 9, though, unless by chance she got her period really really early.

I think that its o.k and you should wait cuz you are too young. I am not telling you what to do , but be wise and smart. If you choose to have sex, be safe and think about it first. Dont do it cuz others are doing it or eer pressure. I am in the 8th grade going to the 9th grade and trust me I understand. Everyday I see girls at my school that just dont care and regret doing it. I am a virgen and I make wise choices. Also think about your consequences.

I was 16...and now days..if a 16 y/o lost her virginity that would be considered "waiting a while"..lol and I am only 23!\n\nIf I had it to do over again.I would have waited on my now husband (who I have been with since I was 17)He was a virgin and it would have been special to have waited.\n\nI guess that is depends on the girl,but most girls now won't wait...it makes me hope I never have children!!!But I dont think there is a certain "time" I think it is just either #1 when they get dam good and ready.. or #2.when peer pressure steps in!\n\nThank you sweety...\n\n\nvote 4 me

Evidently, you’re just on the time of the development.\nIn fact, it’s a normal thing during the puberty and as far as the sexual development goes on.\nIt’s due to the storm of hormones running in your body... so don’t worry!

She is only 13. Some girls dont start developing untill 15 or 16. As far as breasts tell her dont worry about them right know,she does not need to impress any one. Most girls that are developed at this age have eaten unknowing in there food, steriods. Before she knows it she will grow. She might be wanting her period to start but she does not need to worry untill she is 17 then worry .

No one can tell you that.  We are all individuals!  Some girls start early, some take longer.  You are still young enough not to worry about it, just enjoy not having that to coipe with every month, its not fun!

In respons to Rivers of Life\n\nHey pal.... watch who your dissing! We're not all like that. Most of the girls on here are only 14, 15 years old and incredibly insecure. Though I understand some of what you said, we live in a FREE country... where woman have the right to do whatever the hell they want. I wonder what you were all about at 14? Its called puberty, so get off your high horse and where the other persons moccassins, and while your at it, don't insult an entire country.
