Usually it is pretty common that girls will get their periods when they hit 100 lbs. I think this is because there is a minumum body fat percentage a girl needs to reach in order to menstruate. But obviously that's not always true. Some girls get theirs when they are only 80 lbs. I guess it just depends on when your body decides to start and when it thinks it is ready to possibly carry a baby.

It has nothing to do with weight(unless you are seriously underweight, in which case, you WON'T get it. Your body wouldn't be healthy and you wouldn't be able to have a period). It's all about YOUR body and how it works.
I'm assuming you have a small frame because 81 pounds sounds low to me, but i never paid attention to weight until I was about in 9th grade

Yes. 45 kg or 99 pounds is the minimum weight to start menses

For the majority of people you have to be over 100 lbs. This is when your body is able to support a baby. i got mine when i was 95 lbs. though
