    Default No period for almost a year now...

    Become a member to remove this ad.
    I'm 15, i understand that i'm "irregular" but this scared me. I was told by some friends and even read online that if your a teen and miss periods like i have; it could lead to some kind of cancer? Or failure later in my life? I'm scared to be honest and i don't know how to tell my mom how afraid i am. I tried talking/asking her about it but she just shrugged it off saying i exercise a lot... In reality; i wasn't active at all after my volleyball season ended last year. Meaning i should have had periods... but i haven't had one since February of this year..
    I just need some advice/help...

    Try not to panic, though I know it is easier said than done.

    I was like that myself in HS. Hardly a period. Don't stress, however, just tell your mom that you feel that you need to go to the Dr and be seen for an exam. If she still doesn't think you need to be seen and you still are not comfortable. Trying going to a Planned Parenthood for an exam. Not sure what tests they can perform there, but they should have it on their website.

    Whoever said anything was possible obviously never tried slamming a revolving door.
