happy_emo	the age girls get their periods is getting younger all the time, it is not uncommen for 10 year olds to start their periods. About half my class (20 people in my class) started aged 9-11, I started at 13 and so did my mum.. so it could be slightly maternal. don't worry, 10 is a perfectly normal age to start your period so dont worry Was this answer helpful to you?
