A period is a natural part of growing up. It happens when the body releases blood and tissue from the uterus through the vagina. It is a sign that your body is developing normally.
At what age do girls start their periods?
Most girls start their periods between the ages of 9 and 16, although everyone develops at their own pace.
How often will I get my period?
Most girls get their period about once every 21–35 days. It may be irregular when you first start menstruating.
Can I go to school or play sports during my period?
Absolutely. Having your period should not stop you from attending school, playing sports, or participating in activities you enjoy.
Who can I talk to if I have questions?
You can talk to a parent, guardian, teacher, school counselor, healthcare provider, or a trusted adult.
