I'm really skinny and quite underweight.. I havent had my period yet. My friend says that I gotta put on weight to have my first period.. at least. Is this true? She says I have to be normal weight or eat more or there is a chance i wouldn't start my period until really late in my teens. She said that happened to her cousin.
I hear people saying for girls, periods can happen anytime. Not everyone is the same but they have to be at least the standard weight for a first period...

You have to have a certain percentage of body fat in order to menstruate. As for the exact number, I'm not sure.
if you are unhealthy and not eating enough, your body wont have periods. sometimes, annorexics stop getting their period, for example

that happened to a girl i know. she stopped getting her period and then her hair started falling out. and then she got a little better and put on like 10 lbs, but now she's anorexic again and shes trying to get down to 85 =/

girls period should appear between the ageof 11-12 until age of 18 (the later the better )
And if you are under 40kg (88lbs) yes you can have irregular or no period what so ever. Is you keep your weight around 42-45Kg (95lbs) it will be pretty much normal
