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?

9 is on the lower side of normal but still okay (if you are considered overweight you are more likely to get it younger) and the age your mother got it also has a lot to so with it

I was shocked because I had no clue what was going on. My mom never talked to me about anything.
