Bored Housewife	10 is an average age. If you believe in science, many psychologists and anthropologists believe environment may also have something to do with it. Many girl with step-fathers or no fathers hit puberty sooner. Some people believe because of the hormones we put in the foods, it causes the onset of puberty as well. Its all matters of debate and further research, but 10 does happen to be the average of the norm right now. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

michaels baby:)	well all girls are different, its ok, a lot of wemon get it really early because of the hormones that they put into meat these days, the hormones also give large breasts at an early age too, so if you have thoes then you are just getting it early, that can have huge emotional repercusions, because a period ages your body horribly, so thats why its best to always put baby oil on everyhting and always use lotion every day:) i hope that i helped:) good luck:) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

blackheart_987	So, what else in new? Keep on reading and learning, and most of all thinking. Think about all the people who do not care if you started you period, but know that you are now a baby making machine. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mac	Every generation of girls is starting menstruation earlier and earlier-- this is due to the hormones that are fed to the chickens and beef that we eat, along with the milk we give our children...this has been proven medically...so it is more the norm than we realize. I'm not sure if she's in 5th grade but that was the grade my daughters were taught sex education. If your daughter is too young or hasn't had these classes, I would suggest that you read up on the "lightest" explanation of this phenomenon to give your daughter--and when she has the sex talk in school she will at least be not shocked and aware of what's going on with her body. Emotion repercussions? Yes, she is no longer a little girl who can go swimming whenever she wants...last I checked, I don't think they make tampons small enough for littler girls, but I may be wrong....don't hesitate to talk to her pediatrician about this--obviously not when she's in the room...and he may want to run a blood test to check her hormone levels to make sure everything is all right.

Maria	In this day and age, it's not uncommon. The average age range is between nine and fourteen. You'll be fine. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

babyblue	i got mine at age 11. With the steroids that are put in cows and bulls to help them grow stronger and bigger, those hormones get passed onto children in the cows milk and the beef they consume. These growth hormones are causing kids to grow faster and bigger, to develop a lot earlier in life than traditionally. And some kids are just early bloomers. I certainly was. Its not unusual, don't worry. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jay R	No its not abnormal. I got my period when I was 11 and TRUST me this usually means that the girl will develop VERYYY quickly. To explain, when I was in 4th/5th grade I looked exactley like a woman. A woman with 34B boobs. haha A couple years later I got my period and CONTINUED developing. I look older than what I actually am. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

secretrainbow89	lots of emotional repercusions because starting that early will mean developing that much earlier and it can/will have a big emotional impact on some girls that age. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mamalanda	i had mine in 5th grade i was about 9 goin on 10 and for me ive had bad periods ever sine im very irregular but thats just me Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ta-Zu	My mom told me girls are starting younger because of the things they use in meat nowadays. My sister started at around 9, I think. (( ...it's fun watching my sister scream thinking she's dying. lolol. )) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Selina	i got my period when i was 10 so i don't think it is that odd it isn't that common though most girls start between 11-16 Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

monmichka	I started at nine, can you believe that? I was pissed too. I still wanted to play barbie dolls and climb trees and ride my bike and here my mama is telling me that I am a woman now. What? I'm nine, lady!! It took some adjusting but eventually I accepted it, but only because I had to and could do nothing about it. Of course, along with a period came everything else like boobs, big ones too. I was a full c cup by ninth grade which caused it's own problems but 15 years later I love being a woman and I love my big boobs. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
