All the answers stating 9-16 are correct. It can start later, especially with athletes and elite gymnasts because of the exercise
It varies with individuals because of:
a) Genetics
b) Ethnicity (some girls of difference ethnicity in the same countries have different average start dates).
c) Health and weight.
d) Related to health -- Socio-economic status of the girl's family. The wealthier, the earlier the puberty starts.
There is also a medical condition called "precocious puberty" which is when a girl starts puberty earlier than the average. A very few can start at 1 y.o., although this is extremely rare. Some start between 5-6, and it can be anything between 1 and 8 (the earliest normal range).

It depends on the individual. I have heard of some people starting their periods as early as 9 years and some as late as 17 years. It depends a lot on the person's genetics, behavior pattern and activities. Most girls who have eating disorders will start later and those who are also on different drugs, medical or otherwise, will start later. It really depends on the individual girl.

I was 11 yrs old. My sister was 14. My mom was 13. My cousin was 13. I think it just depends on your body type and how developed you are in other areas. I think the average is between the ages of 11-16. Don't be surprised if you are 16 before you start. This does happen on occasion. I know young girls are excited to start their period but really it's not anything to look forward to. It's aggrevating having to carry pads/tampons with you or having to worry about when (and even worse, WHERE) you are going to start! Just relax, it's gonna happen sooner than later...

It can vary depending on genetics- usually a girl gets it at the same age her mom did. The age can vary anywhere from 9-16.
