i've heard of some girls getting their first period at 16, so i think you doing okay. i got mine for the first time 5 years ago when i was 10.

I got mine when I was eleven, right after I came back from a Hershey Park trip. And my mom wasn't home to help! Turns out the same thing happened to her; she was eleven and her mom wasn't home either.

Those people who get there's at 16 or 17 are lucky...

Around 12-13ish? Yeah. It's still a bit unstable though, but that's pretty normal.

i got it on my 12th b-day i think or 11th? can't remember i think it was 12 though. yea what a great b-day present to myself.

its not late.. ppl i know didn't have theirs yet and they are like 16.. i had mine when iwas 9 but it got bad when i turned 11 which i still am

...
not really tho. if u had it, then u'd know when to prepare for it...

lol i think i posted it here already i don't remember. anyways:

i got mine when i was 11

The summer before 6th grade. I guess I was... 11

i got mine when i was 11

6th grade I think I was .. 10? Bleh, I 'dunno how old I was in 6th grade.

I was 10 or 11 I think.
The summer of 5th grade.

I had mines when I was 12 in 7th grade. Yep, proud to be a woman. haha

I started when I was about 13 or 14... but i can't exactly remember. But no, it's really not uncommon to have not started yet, it's okay! I promise!!!

i first got mine when i was 11, almost 12...it hasn't exactly gotten regular yet but i've never gone more than three months without getting it. and it SUCKS because i have the worst cramps, headaches, back aches, feeling-like-i'm-going-to-puke etc. ishness ever. ugh...i hate being female when it comes to that...

DITTO!!!!

I was 13. But you aren't too old! Some people don't start theirs till they're 16!

Haven't gotten it yet and I'm not looking forward to it.

12...i wish i didnt start till i turned..18 or something!!!! Its so annoying

I got mine when I was 10, in 5th grade...
Not fun

i got mine at 13. no your not weird. i felt weird too.. because it seemed like everyone else had theirs, but your fine. afterwards i realized it was a good thing, getting it later.

When I was twelve or a little before my twelfth birthday. Be happy you don't have to worry with it yet.

umm.. i didnt get mine yet.. but i gueess thats a good thing bwahhahahhaa.

13 years old

woah i feel sorry for the people who voted that they got it <8...

I was 11

11 this year in the summer

I started mine when I was 11.

i think i was 11 or 12 when i got mine.

yea it was 9 for me. *sigh* oh well.

Like when I was 11-12 sucks. I wish I could get it laterer.

12...

Sometime in 7th grade, around October I think.

When I was 12, in the 7th grade.

I got mine when I was 11

I was 14

that would be 8th grade...there was a bomb threat and we couldnt get off the bus...VERY uncomfortable situation as you can imagine.

i got mine when i was 11 at the end of 5th grade...it sucked and i still hate periods today x)

1st got mine a month ago... it totally freaked me out

same here. i felt so different between me & my friends.

i got mine last year.....but i'm 13

i got mine when i was 9 ! it happened at school , i think that`s really early. i think the average is like 11 - 14 ?

I got mine when I was 11, and then it didn't come again till over a year and half later...right on my birthday! After that it's been fairly regular.

Yeah I wouldn't fret about not having your period, you lucky duck! That's 3 less years of agony you currently have over me!

same here!
