Becoming a Woman - Your first period?

At what age did you transition from girlhood into womanhood?
I was a late bloomer and only started my periods at the age of 15.
I can remember feeling jealous of my friends who (in my eyes) were more grownup and were turning into real women before me and leaving me behind.
At the other end of the scale my menopause (another 'joy' of being a woman) started quite late. So I suppose these things balance out in the end.
What with pregnancy and childbirth the female body is a truly fascinating thing and has to go through a lot.
Men are lucky they don't have to go through these things.

How old were you when you started your periods?

Oh dear if you don't believe there are likely weirdos who get off on this talk.......

Well, it certainly attracted you, didn’t it. Are you a regular poster by the way? #just asking

Some people have strange imaginations. If you don’t like the thread find another one.

Hello everyone, I woke up one morning when I was only 9, nearly 10, to find all this blood!! My mum was devastated...she had no idea my body was changing so was horrified. I remember the plastic pants to wear over my knickers...?
It was a horrible time at school because as I was 'well developed'...
Mum went to tell my teacher and apparently I wasn't the only one...
