Answer 1

Hi my name is Rachael and I am 13 I have not yet had my period ( thank god) but when you do don't wory about it you cant stop it (well when you 50 and up ot stops) but when you do get it it's just showing that you becoming a woman. And when you probabily get you wont want to tell your dad (I'm sure as hell not going to!) but if you don't want to tell him don't. but girls usually get their peirod when their 10 and up

Dont worie

- Um... Yea sorry to break it to you Rachael , but girls get their period before their ten. You can get it when you turn 8 as well. They usually start at 8 - 13.

Well, for me I have had my period when I was 12. I can't believe I had it for a second time and for me I had a lot of blood. Sorry, TMI.
In general, the puberty and the menstrual cycle are genetically and hormonally determined and different girls can have different development. In different countries periods are starting at 11 -17 (depending on physical development, hormones, genetics, country location, etc). It is very personal and pre-menstrual "signals" (strange discharges, breast tense, abdomen pain, etc.) can come 1-2 days or 2-3 months or 11-12 months in advance. Some girls don't have any pre-menstruation "signals". It depends how sensitive are you and how fast your hormones will jump up. Just don't be stressed because stress itself could make a delay. Everything has it's time. If you would not have your cycle up to 17 - better visit your doctor.

First period usually occurs about two years after your breasts develop and between 4 and 6 months after the growth of your pubic and underarm hair.
