Most girls start at age 12 or 13. Some women get cramps, some don't. I think for most of us, it's not that bad, more of an inconvenience. I don't remember having cramps until I was a little bit older. There are plenty of ways to make the cramps go away- tylenol, advil, midol. It's really not a big deal.
You're not gross for asking. It's important to understand about your body and health.

I was 13. Sometimes it hurts... those are the cramps girls talk about... a little Advil or a hot bath usually helps that.
I have heard that menstual cycles start once a girl reaches a weight of at least 105 pounds.

I started when I was 10 and it didn't hurt at all that time. Later I started having cramps, but mine are never that bad. My sister's have all had kind of a hard time with them. But it just depends on the person. Don't worry, it's nothing too bad, just an annoying part of life. :)

I started mine at 14 but that was late. Most girls get theirs 11-13.
Best thing to do is find out when your mom started hers, daughters usually get theirs around the same age

There is new research that shows periods start more based on weight rather than age. A girl is very athletic and this will start her period later than one who may be a bit heavier. Nothing is conclusive.

I was almost 12, my sister was 12, my other sister just turned 11, and my mom started hers when she was 9. And no it doesn't hurt, you just have cramps that are uncomfortable, but they have asprin and stuff that helps!

I was 12. That seems to be an average age.
