I'm so glad I didn't start at 11  -- I raised myself so I think that would have been too much for me to cope with along with everything else I was already dealing with....
I got absolutely no advice/help as it was when I was 14... thought for sure I was dying as I didn't think it was normal that I'd be in such pain with it.....  ... and I didn't have anyone to go to for help.

I was 13 and my relationship with my mother was quickly deteriorating by then, not to mention that I was embarrassed like most 13 year olds are. She found my pads and was extremely upset/offended that I didn't tell her. I came home to her crying, with flowers and chocolate for me. It was kind of terrible...
