i didnt start till i was nearly seventeen, dont let these girls scare you by saying they were late at 12 that is a load of S**T and i hate it when people say that, i am fat for my height but it still came, dont go to the doctors until you are ready to, these people that are like OMG 15,16, or 17 is so late are WRONG your body is yours and starting at 16 when i did is what my body wanted to do, dont worry too much if you get to 18 and it hasnt started then think about it with concern but dont let these little inexperienced children tell you any different, they are just boasting. hope that it all goes well for you.!!!!

The usual age is between 12 and 14 years of age, but you could be either an early or late starter and start from either 9 to 16. It really doesn't matter at what age you do start, all girls are different. I don't think your size will have anything to do with it. You will start when your body is ready.

Many factors will determine when you start your period. When your hormone level reaches a certain point, then your body will know when it is time. As a mother of two daughters, one started
at 11, one started at 17 with the help of hormones, I started at
13 (I am 61 now) but had a period until I was 55 and had a hysterectomy. Don't worry about it, nature will take care of it.

Girls generally start at about 12. Size doesn't make a difference to my knowledge. Some start sooner. Some start later. I believe it's usually the girls that start developing breasts and getting hair in unmentionable places that will usually start their periods sooner as well.
PS. Where's your Mom? She should be able to tell you all about this and other things as well. I hope you have a good relationship with her. Mom's can be a girl's best friend in troubled times.

it depends...it can start as early as 9 and as late as 17. I was heavy and tall for my age. I got my period at either 9 or 10. I started freakin puberty at 8. Which sucked!

It all depeneds on your weight and age, but what weight that is who knows. Usually heavier girls get it earlier then they're suppsoe too but thats not always the case either. Mostly it's based on when your mother got her 1st period so I'd ask her!! If she was 14 then most likely you'll get it a little earlier then that age or at that age.

if you are 16 and have not started there is a problem like my sis did not start tell 14 1/2 so you are fine if it is that. some models dont get peroids be cause they are so skinny not anaresick skinny but skinny but if your family has a past of starting late dont be worried

between ages 8 to 16
If you do not start your period by age 16 see a doctor
