The average age varies. It's usually 10-15. I've never known anyone who started after that. Yeah, getting your period is a good thing. It means you're becoming a woman. Every woman has to get her period at some point. Especially if you want to reproduce in the future!

No one can say exactly when you'll get your first menstrual period, but you will get it some time during puberty. Puberty is the time in your life when you begin to become an adult. This means a lot of growing and changing - both inside and out. Some girls start puberty at age 8, and others may start as late as age 14 or 15. Each girl goes at her own pace. So don't think you're weird if you start puberty a little earlier or a little later than your friends. Continued...
Hope this helps! There is actually more to the article that might completely answer your questions or at least provide you with a little more knowledge.

There is a huge range of ages and it's about 8-18, I believe the average age is 12, although it's been getting younger for a while apparently.

Anywhere from 9-16. having a period means that your body is now ready and able to support a pregnancy.

i was 14. it means you can have babies now, STAY AWAY FROM THE BOYS. You will really start to develop now or at least that is how it happened for me.
