Whether you tell your friends about your period or not is up to you - but there is nothing shameful or embarrassing about menstruation so no reason to hide it or avoid talking about it, in fact talking about your periods can help you find new ways of managing it.
Many women will tell their friends when they get their first period - it's a big deal as it's a sign you've become a woman and you're growing up, lots of girls want to celebrate their periods and let their friends know that they are growing up. Many girls also like to talk about their periods because it's anew experience for them and they need support.
Once you've been menstruating for a while you might mention it to your friends if it comes up - for example maybe your friends want to swim but you're not comfortable using tampons or menstrual cups, thus can't go and thus you need to explain why. Some women talk about menstruation to share experiences or exchange ideas on how to make periods easier to manage, also some women celebrate their periods in Red Tents where they honour their periods and being women.
Whether YOU tell your friends is up to you, but no reason not to.

If a grandmother gets her first period at age 13 and her daughter gets her first period at age 13 than what are the odds that her daughter gets her first period at age 13?
Quite likely but then again unlikely because everyone grows at their own pace, my mother and grandmother got their periods at 13 but I got mine at 12. Sometimes the people around you including your friends can start your period... for example my friend got her period before I got mine and a few weeks later I started and a day after I started another one of my friends started... strange, huh>? Well I most defiantly hope I helped you, good luck and don't be afraid to tell your parents! (Specifically your mother) Good luck!
