When did your daughter get her first period?
Most girls get their first period when they’re between 10 and 15 years old. The average age is 12, but every girl’s body has its own schedule. Although there’s no one right age for a girl to get her period, there are some clues that it will start soon.
What is the oldest you get your period?
Girls usually get their first periods between the ages of 8 and 15. However, some girls start puberty a little earlier or later than others.
How do I tell my mom that I’m getting my period?
You could just text your mom and ask if she could pick up some tampons/pads. When your mom is about to go to the store, you can sneakily write pads/tampons on the list of supplies that she needs. It’s a great way to tell her. If you have your period and have nothing like tampons or pads, put some folded-up toilet paper in your underwear.
What is the average age for a girl to start her period?
This included good health and sex education, which had been gravely lacking in her own childhood. Less than 10\% of girls in the U.S. start their periods before age 11. My mom was one of those few, and her experience was traumatic.
What was my mom’s life like before she was my mother?
It was another reminder that before she was my mom, she was a person with her own life and set of experiences that had nothing to do with me or my siblings. Over the years, you might slowly pick up bits and pieces of your mom’s life story, little breadcrumbs she drops here and there.
How to deal with your first period at 16?
Though it’s easier said than done, try not to compare yourself to your friends. Your period will come when your body is ready; if you hit 16 and you still have no sign of it, go and speak to a doctor, they will be able to run tests and give you some clear answers. A big step towards handling your first period smoothly is being prepared.
