Late? As in going out for and being late for the date? If that is how he is now, he always will be. It may be laziness or just being unorganized. Who really knows. But don't put up with it too long. Good luck.  SAM

She may be "late" for various reasons..Stress, health etc, etc.  BUT you may well be on the way to becoming a father..\nI suggest a visit to the family planning clinic or similar type organisation, or buy a home pregnancy test kit BUT dont take the results of a kit seriously until you get them confirmed by a professional like a nurse or Doctor.\nIf you are really worried talk to an adult you respect & trust & ask them to help you..a teacher, uncle/Aunt Friends parents, Dr, etc, etc

state your reasoning's for being late....be sincere. Now is not the time to sugar coat the subject...\nGive the child motivational things to help in the "rush" of getting ready on time.\nExpress to the teacher that you understand that so many tardies = out to an absent and that your willing to do a Saturday or after school training time if your school permits....\nThis will show the teacher that even though you were late you do take there class seriously..\nGood luck

It happens to the best of us. I think it is because they are so inactive during sleep, they need time to "wake up" just like we do!

They've got hormones racing through their bodies.\n\nBoys are very different than girls. \n\nThey aren't thinking rationally.\n\nYou need to think rationally, though.  Keep them at bay.  You are in charge of your body.  Don't let anyone talk you into doing something that you're uncomfortable with.

as a mother of 3 boys i can tell u - find for them something to do. in that case they will be busy and won't have time to drive u nuts. i give my kids some chores and try to keep them separate from each other by giving them some different appointments\nand i would really answer also to that previous to mine answer - if he has children like drunk midgets it is his own fault that he can not have nice chidren. mine never woke me up in the morning by hitting me even when they were brainless toddlers. children are the best people on this planet if they hace normal parents

Because if you're late, you're in trouble. \n\nThen again if you're married you are in trouble too... HEY!  That's why I am in a rush both ways!

No, it's not unusual for girls your age to not start their periods. Some girls just don't start it till later.  Sometimes a late start can be genetic.  Did your mom or anyone else in your family start "late" as well?\n\nIf you really are concerned about it, talk to your parents and school nurse.  It could be that something might be wrong, but it's unlikely.\n\nBeing boy crazy isn't exactly a bad thing, and not every girl becomes boy crazy at the same time, if they become boy crazy at all.  Lots of young girls and women like boys and men, but they don't lose their heads over them.  It really depends on your personality.  Do you go crazy for other things?  If not, it may not be in your personality to go crazy for them, but just like them instead.

I think it is most often the best to start school as late as possible.  Kids grow up fast enough as it is.  Give them as much time as possible to be a kid.  If it doesn't work out it is pretty easy to bump a kid up a grade.  It is difficult to hold a child back for any reason.

Don't worry. Boys aren't very precise with their timings to begin with. He may be having dinner with his family (yeah, at 10 PM) or taking a shower. If he doesn't call within an hour, call him back. But next time he's late like that, don't even bother.

You will learn.\nJust talk with them.\nBoys are not as mature and will come around with time.\n\nYou must be very young. Don't be in such of a hurry.

Several things can make you late besides the obvious one.\nStress, taking medication (colds, infections,  ect.) New type of birth control.  or ...What we use to call "staking" your BC pills to skip (prolong having a period) Or there could be a number of more serious illnesses. Advise female friend to see her Dr.

I am indeed sorry to tell you but in seeing the level of maturity you are at you can expect it to be awhile before boys catch up.\n\nSome never do. But the ones worth your time will not truly be mature enough to handle you until well after high school.\n\nNow let me say this. You are only in the 8th grade. You have a long time ahead of you before this really should even be something you worry about. I know you have now discovered boys. And some have discovered girls at your age but there is so much to know about relationships that it will take time.\n\nNever ever jump into any relationship because your lonely. I know....easy to say hard to do.....but it is very true.\nThere is a saying that best describes what I am saying.\n\n"How bad do you want it....the worse you want it the worse you will get it."\n\nTruer words were never spoken.\nYou sound like a intelligent girl. You know what is right and what is wrong. \n\nOnce you are in high school you may find guys are almost reasonable. But you have to watch out. The jerks are a bit harder to spot until it's too late. \n\nJust hang in there. There will be dates in your future and you will be glad you are as smart as you are.
