I'm 12, where's my period?

Madi asks:

I'm 12 years old, but I'm so freaked out about this! It's been almost 2 months and I still haven't had my period yet! I do not have a boyfriend yet. Why didn't I get my period? If it'll be late how long can it be late? Please answer, I'm so worried and freaked out.

Questioning gender identity in mainstream media

Submitted by Femke on Sun, 09/16/2007 - 16:31.

Reading mainstream “teen girl magazines” can feel like opening a can of worms to conscientious readers: on one hand, they’re quick, colorful, and fun to flip through; on the other, they support the status quo, with “meaningful” articles stuck between page upon page of boyfriend tips and beauty ads. What’s a girl (or guy or genderqueer person) to do?!?


I hate being a girl: is that wrong?

abnormal asks:

I'm a 13 year old girl and HATE being a GIRL. I have the mind strength hands feet and hairiness of a boy but still have the body of a girl complete with boobs. Is there something wrong with me wanting to be a boy?
