Telling when exactly you will get your period is impossible. I got mine around the time when my breasts had been developing for 1.5 years, I had underarm hair and pubic hair, and I was 13. But, for everyone it is different. Some gurls start mensturating around 8, but the typical age is between 12-14. Don't worry about getting it. It can be imtimidating when all of your friends have it, but you are lucky because it is just another pain. Be prepared and carry pads/tampons with you and wear pantiliners every day when you follow the things I said earlier. When you first get your period, you will see a red/brown color in your underwear and you might experience cramps and backaches, bloating, headaches, and sometimes lightheadedness. Tell your guardian that you got it and ask them about your family and their experiences. Good luck!
