I have been growing hair down there a lot, and pimples out of nowhere, are you sure I might get my period in a year, and I only noticed white stuff like 2 times this year

Okay so it sounds like your body is definitely getting ready for your period, maybe even sooner than you think. Pubic hair and pimples are totally normal signs that puberty is happening, and these usually pop up before your period truly starts.

What's up with the hair and pimples?

Growing hair "down there" (that's called pubic hair, btw!) is one of the first big signs that your hormones are on the move. And pimples? Ugh, literally the worst, but also super normal. Your hormones are changing a lot during this time, and those changes can make your skin produce more oil, which leads to breakouts. Most girls get pimples before or during their periods, so that's a classic sign too.

And the white stuff?

The "white stuff" you're talking about is probably vaginal discharge, and it's a huge sign your period is on its way. It's totally normal and actually a good thing because it means your reproductive system is getting ready. You might only notice it a little bit at first, and then it can become more regular. Usually, your period will start about 6 months to a year after you first see discharge, but for some people, it can happen sooner.

All these signs together — breast buds, pubic hair, pimples, and discharge — are like your body's personal countdown clock to your first period. Everybody's timeline is different, so it's impossible to say for sure exactly when yours will arrive. But it sounds like you're definitely on the right track!
