Everything - well the 2 things you pointed out are linked to you changing. Your at an age where your hitting puberty, but that doesnt mean your going to start your period.
It can happen at any age.
I was 8 years old. Very young, but there was a medical reason behind me coming on so young, where as my cousin hit puberty at the age of 13, but didnt start her period until she was 17.
Don't worry that your friends are on their periods or changing and your not. Nobody is the same.
I had to go through years and years of being on my period and my friends not.
Cramps are not just period related, you can have cramps for a number of reasons.
Pimples are again, just your age. Start asking your mother or buy yourself some Tea Tree face scrub, the earlier you start to look after your skin the better.
Signs your going to be starting your periods are mainly brown discharge - your underwear will have a brown substance in it, when it does, dont be scared about telling your mum - she went through the same things as you will be, and she was probably just as scared as you - the sooner you tell, the better prepared you will be for your period.
Other signs are: normally you breasts will become sore. Fatigue, mood change, extremes changes from hot to cold, cramps, headache, and depression. For every woman it varies. You will gain used to the symptoms and know when it's coming.
Also, when you do start, little things like heat pads, hot water bottles are good, and chocolate has been proven to help ease pain. So your period can be good :-)
