I get bullied for not getting my first period, I want to get it quicker. I just took a test and it said I will get my period in a year, I can't wait that long. Can you tell me tips to get my first period faster?

Okay so no, there isn't really anything you can do to make your period come faster. Your body has its own timeline and you can't rush it. It's like waiting for your hair to grow or something, it just happens when it happens.

I know it totally stinks that you're getting bullied for this, and that's not okay at all. Everyone's body is different and grows at its own pace. Some people get their period super early, and some get it later, and it's all totally normal. The average age for a first period is anywhere between 10 and 15, so a year from now is still totally in that range.

Your period will show up when your body is ready, and that's usually after you've had a growth spurt, and your breasts have started to develop. You might also notice some vaginal discharge a few months before your period starts. Just try to focus on being healthy and taking care of yourself, and your period will come on its own schedule. If you want to know more about the signs, there's a quiz that can give you an idea of when to expect it: how close is my first period?
