All the answers before me are correct. Depending on health, food intake, exercise plus ethnicity a girl can start her periods at 8 years to 16 years. Some may even be later through health and food factors.--- Female gymnasts at the top levels develop much later than non athletes. Girls who are starving also develop much later.
Girls who suffer from "precocious puberty" can start their periods as young as 6 months of age unto 7 years of age.
Children have over the last 100 years have started reaching puberty earlier. As another answerer stated, it used to be 15 to 18 but is not 9-13 on average. Better food and medicines have assisted in lowering the age.

don't worry. over the last 150 years the age of puberty in girls has dropped from 16-18 to 9-13. scientists say its because people are better fed these days

The average is like, 8-13, but sometimes you're a late bloomer and sometimes an earlybloomer..

Wait and don't rush it. I started mine at 9, but my sister didnt' start until she was 13. Everyone starts at a different age. Once you get it, it's not all that exciting.
