  • For some reason I got mine at 11, but my sister and my mom got theirs when they were 14. I always thought it was strange because I never really was a big girl. I was never as developed as my sister so I always wondered why mine came so early, but hers was so late. She's 7 yrs older than me, so either way she had hers long before I had mine, but I still think its weird I got mine so early. I just feel like if it was gonna be anyone in the family who was getting theirs early it would be her. I mean, she wasn't a big girl either, but her boobs were/are always quite large.

    • Size doesn't determine uterine development.

      Other factors can also determine when you start...

      IIRC being very athletic can actually delay (or stop) your period. And by very athletic I mean "extremely" not just running a few times each week.

      And some girls develop extra early.
      over on wiki there's a page that talks about the youngest mothers... the youngest is currently 5 years old and supposedly she started her period before she was 3.
