I first got my period in 5th grade at age 11. That really sucked because no one in my class had it so they didn't know what I was going through.

some girls get their periods as young as 8!!!!
I' got mine exactly two months after my thirteenth b-day on August,27. My Mom had a friend in her 5th grade class who had a child at 10! let alone she got prego at 9 oy... then she had another baby at 13!
she dropped out of school in the 8th grade...I feel bad for her...oh-well it was her mistake.

I started mine when I was 11. But I guess since going on a diet it messed up my hormones, which really isn't good, but the point that I would like to make is if you are on a diet, which i think you would be since this is a board for encouraging people to lose weight, blah, blah, blah. You are getting enough nutrition and eating healthy. Yeah..okay....lol!
