how young were u when you got ur period...im just wondering the average?

Question:

Answers:
I was 11 1/2 when I got my first period. When you start your period depends on the person. I've heard of girls starting as young as 9 years old.

Other Answers:
11

I was 14.

In health they taught us that the average age is 13, or when the girl reaches 110lbs.

I was 11 years, 11 months old, but that was a long time ago. I believe the average age is getting younger. It's not unusual for 9 year olds to be starting their periods.

i was bout 10 when i first got mind but it depends on ur body

I was 11, and at SCHOOL! It was horrifying! It was the only time in my life I actually appreciated the fact that my mom was a teacher at my school.

I was 11, two months before I turned 12.

Yea I was about 11 1/2. Was the summer before the 6th grade. I think the reason the average age is getting younger has to do with the average weight of girls these days. More girls (or children in general) are heavier and reach the 110- ish lbs mark younger. It's kinda sad really...

I was 14 when it hapenned - a week after my birthday

3 months after I turned 13... lol, I remember so well :)

I was 13. It was almost 2 months after, and I'm not actually sure if it's 110 pounds, because I heard it's between 90-100 or when your breasts start developing, because I'm still 13, and I don't weigh 110 yet.

I was 11. I heard that the older you get it, the least prone you are for getting all the terrible diseases that women get (breast cancer, ovarian cancer, etc.). Looks like I'm a goner.

dont know dont have it and im 13 if that helps

I was 11.
