  • As for your period, you are still VERY young. Your hormones are still in the process of leveling out, and your cycle may not be regular yet. But, it's something you should see a doctor about. We here really can't help you with that. Only a doctor can figure out what's wrong, give you the necessary meds, or do the necessary procedure.

    When I was your age, I once bled for over a month and a half. Every day. Straight. All it took was some hormone pills to get everything balanced the way it should be. Then, when I was 16, I didn't get my period for 3 months. Same thing, nothing was wrong, my hormones were just a little off.

    BUT, my friend (who is 24) just lost her period for 3 months, went to the doctor, and it turned out she had an under active thyroid.

    You really need to go get checked out, and DON'T limit your calories. You're growing quickly, your body is changing, and what you may see as "fat" is just your body developing. All women need some body fat to have a period, and almost all women have some fat around their hips and belly that won't ever go away (and shouldn't). It's part of being female. True, some women are naturally very slender, but it's their body type and not the result of unhealthy eating habits and yes, eating "healthy" to an extreme is just as bad as over eating.

    You really should go to the doctor. It seems like you have more than few things going on.

    Okay everyone. I went to friendly's and ordered a BLT and French fries!
    I haven't had a order of fries for a year. Crazy,I know. I've noticed Friendly's shrunk their fries portion.
    Then after the fireworks,we got Coldstone creamery. I got sweet cream I've cream with roasted almonds and a ghirardelli caramel square all smashed up :)

    I'm so happy I didn't worry about calories. I really am to young to worry aren't i?
