Im always skipping my period. I got it in June but im worried about always skipping it. Im not sexually active and my stress level isnt that bad. But some people told me I was underweight. Im 13 years old. 5'4 - 5'5 and I weigh 100-105lbs. Does anyone think that the reason im skipping my period is because im underweight?

I don't think that's seriously underweight enough to cause period stoppage, though it's possible. It's also possible that it's just because you're young, and your cycle hasn't sorted itself into a routine just yet.

You're 13. Most young females experience irregularity for a few years.

I'm 5'7 and 102...so I don't think that's it.

I think (like they mentioned above) that it's got more to do with your age than your weight. Hell, I didn't even get my first period until like a week before I turned 14...

But it's "normal" to be irregular until you're well into your teen years. I had friends that got like one or two periods then had NOTHING for months and months until they were a little older. When I was younger mine were "regularly" 3 or 4 months apart.

you are not seriously underweight. at 13 I was about 85 lbs. and about your height. I just had a crazy metabolism. At 16 i'm still skipping..it can take many years for your period to regulate. My mom's didn't become normal until she got pregnant and had me at 30.

I started when I was 8 and have been regular since. Which I find odd.
Goes to show you different every woman is.
