How old were you when..

You got your period?! Lol
I was talking with a lady at the WIC office, she's 4wks pregnant with her 5th child, ages 12-6yrs. & her hubby wanted her to get an abortion because they couldnt afford another and on top of that both thier 12yr & 6yr old got thier periods this year. Wow. Anyway,  lol , I started to think about when I got my first period (15 yrs old) & I pray my daughters don't get it that early.  What about you guys?

I was 9 in 5th grade had no clue what was going on since we hadn't had our little class on puberty yet.

I was 12. I always kind of "knew" about periods because my mom wasnt shy or secretive about anything like that. There were always tampons and panty liners in the house.(my little brother thought they were underwear Haha) When sixth grade hit my mom told me it could happen at any time and we went to the store and picked out a few different pads for when i started. I kept them in a plastic container and when we went on trips or vacations i took it along. I actually started when we were on a camping trip, so thank god for that container!:) I will be doing EXACTLY the same with my daughters! My oldest is five and ive never hid my stuff from her. Shes asked what the are and i tell her the names of them(ie, tampons&panty liners) and that she'll know more about them when shes old enough!

7th grade-12 years old. If a six year old has already started, then they need to take her to the doctor because that's not normal at all. But then again,  with all the added hormones and whatnot that is put into food these days, girls are starting their periods at an earlier age than 11 or 12 which is textbook normal.
