YOU ARE 9!!!!!! YOU SHOULDN'T BE ON THE INTERNET TALKING TO STRANGERS(AND POSSIBLY PERVERTS!)
YOU SHOULD BE TALKING TO YOUR MOTHER OR ANTHER WOMAN YOU TRUST!

Not necessarily. I have a lot of friends who started their periods when they were 17! But, I also know a few girls who started when they were 8. Genetics have a lot to do with it, so I would ask your mom...But her answer doesn't necessarily have anything to do with wether or not you start your period very earily or very late. The average is 12 or 13, but that doesn't mean that it's a bad thing to start your period at a different age, rather that age be 8 or 17. :)

Probably not. Most girls don't start until they are 12 or 13. You are probably thinking this because your friends are starting to get theirs? Well, I wouldn't worry about it too much! If you don't get it by the time you are 16 or so, call a doctor for an appointment. There may be something wrong. Other than that, enjoy your time without it. It's a pain!

There is no hard & fast rule of when girls will start their menses. I started when I was 10, but my sister didn't start till she was nearly 16. Every girl is different. Don't get too uptight about it - girls are definitely maturing physically earlier these days....you're just a little bit ahead of the curve.
Be sure to tell your mother - she'll need to buy you the right types of protection and help you with any problems you'll possibly have (cramping, etc).
Good luck & welcome to the first stages of womanhood!

i think you are reading a lot of things here ppl saying the norm for a period to start is around age 10 depending on your body and when your mother and grandmother started that is when you should start anywhere from age 11-18 is normal ask your mom when she started and you'll have an idea as to when you will start yours

It's not common, but it sometimes does happen, so don't worry. You just started puberty a little earlier than some other girls. It's nothing to worry over, though. A couple of my friends started theirs when they were 9 .

I am 13 without a first. Anywhere from 7 to 15 is normal.

Enjoy! Don't worry it depends on ur genes and ur family heredity. If u didn't get ur periods till 16 yrs then u have to consult a doctor. Not now. Be happy

There is no magic number for when you start your period, but this is a question best put to your mother or another loving female figure in your life. Peace!

No and don't rush it be a little girl as long as you can. once you start you have to plan your life around that every month. Be happy you will grow up soon enough.
