It is believed that as nutrition increases, and some say more hormones from cattle and other animals enter out food system, girls are experiencing menarche (first menstruation) much earlier than in the past. The Victorian woman usually experienced her first "Curse" at about 16, now the average is about 11 or 12. In developing countries, the average is much older than in Post Industrial countries like the USA and most of Europe, Australia and parts of South America.
How old were you, and just for seeing if age has decreased over time, what decade was it?
Please answer ONE age and ONE decade.
Thank you less

I'm pretty sure I was like 9, I was in 4th grade. I got it on Thanksgiving of that year. Best day ever. It started off regularly, and then I started getting really heavy periods every three months, and it spanned out to CRAZY heavy every six.
09/17/2011
I was ten and a half when I got it in 2002. I got home from school and felt something was happening down there. Go to the toilet and see a slight rust spot on my underwear. Have the first of a (so far) lifetime of cramps shortly afterward.
Interestingly, I actually started breast development and pubic hair growth even earlier in life. I was wearing a B bra by age seven. I wear an E cup now at 20 and they're getting bigger. >< My then sixteen year old cousin was shocked that I had pubic hair at nine. I can remember having it as far as eight years old.
Of course, my mother developed early too. Looks like I inherited not only her body type but also her fucked up (both our words) hormone imbalances. She was born in 1962.

I got mine in 1991, when I was 11. I was at school, in the 6th grade I think, and I had to excuse myself from class to ask the school nurse for a pad. Fun times...
09/19/2011
I was 12. It was Valentine's Day.
09/19/2011
February 16th, 1992. I was 12. The reason I recall the date is because two nights before I went to the school's Valentines Day dance. The next day, I had a vocal competition (Took home a first place ribbon!). The competition was on a Saturday, and my mom said I seemed tired afterward. I chalked it up to the dance and the competition being so close together. On Sunday, I was still feeling tired. A trip to the bathroom that evening led to the discovery that I had started. Even though I didn't feel sick, my mom didn't force me to go to school the next day, because I had been tired all weekend.

When I was about 13.
I was in 8th grade.

I remember begging my mom to let me shave my legs and underarms when I was 10 or 11. I needed to, and she tried to bleach the hair. It did not work. I don't know why I didn't just shave, without getting "permission". but both my parents had safety razors (before disposables were affordable) and I guess I figured I'd get caught or something. Finally around 12 she let me shave.

I let my youngest shave at 10, she was furry and has dark hair like I do, and for things like pool parties and wearing shorts, I think she'll be more comfortable. I bought her a small electric razor, as she is afraid of getting cut with a regular razor.

My grandmother recieved her period at 10 years old, my mother at 10, and me at 9. My younger sister started spotting near age 8 but finally "started" when she was 9 as well.

I got mine a few days after my 9th birthday. It sucked because I was at school doing a speech in front of my whole school that day and I felt so shitty.
Hell, I didn't even know about periods and stuff since my mom thought she would have more time to talk to me about it. I totally thought I was dying when I went home and saw the surprise lol.
Crap I forgot about the decade. Mine was the 1990's.

Actually, no, I'm not Mediterranean at all. I'm part French/German/Dutch/Br itish Isles/Cherokee, but even then the Cherokee is, like, only one person. I have red hair, green eyes, and ridiculously sensitive light skin. I have a twin brother and hormone imbalances run in the family. Maybe that's why I had hair then.

I first shaved my legs at age ten. I managed to slice my pointer finger open while trying to get the hair out of the disposable razor. GOOD. JOB. XD

I was 10, but I got mine about a week before my 11th birthday.
09/26/2011
Day I turned 9 years old

I am half Italian, so I can identify with the hairiness part. I had pubic hair at 9. My leg hairs were pretty dark. It was embarrassing, so I just started shaving on my own. I borrowed a razor from the medicine cabinet.

I want to say 9 or 10? I'm not completely certain, but it was around there.
02/07/2012
I believe I was 12 and I'm currently 33.

I can't imagine getting my period at 9-10 years old... that's still elementary school.
I got mine at 14, right before high school. They have never been regular since(though I'm now on Mirena and haven't had a period in 2 years).

Two of my three daughters experienced menarche at the age of nine. It isn't really all that uncommon, I have aunts who got their first periods at 9 or 10 back in the first half of the 20th century. I don't know if Mediterranean women develop more quickly, or if it's just a family quirk.

I was about 11 when I got my first period. I learned about it in sex ed and such but I will never forget thinking that day, going to the bathroom, seeing blood and thinking wtf? I was a little scared lol
03/01/2012

03/01/2012
