I just became curious as to when you guys started your period. We talk about it all the time so it seemed appropriate haha

So I'm NOT weird! haha
I played a ton of sports growing up and was always told I probably wouldn't start my period until I was older bc of it but started at age 11. |

I never ever heard of anyone starting older than 15..... could there really be some girls that don't start till 17 or even 18 years old???
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. fins __________________ “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson |

I had the 'joy' of starting at 10. Was just so thrilled and that no one else has started yet; it was awkward to say the least. We were traveling at the time overseas and we were in a museum. We joke that it was a 'monumental occasion', LOL; fortunately my mum had things with her not expecting to have share however, so trying to find a grocery store was fun in a foreign language but we had a good time.

I started when I was 11. I remember proudly declaring it to my dad.

That's cool that some of you were excited about it. I did everything I could so that I didn't have to tell my parents. I think I kept it a secret until I was about 15 or 16. I never said a word to anyone. I don't know why but I was embarrassed and ashamed of it.
