Usually ages 12-14, but everyone is different.

Some girls may even begin their periods when they are 8. But then some don't start until as late as 16. Some may never start, and this is due to issues in the reproductive organs.

If you do not start your period when you think you should (between 8-16 years of age) you should visit a gynecologist and have him/her take a look and make sure everything is functioning properly. If you have concerns, you can always visit your local Planned Parenthood or Health Department for advice. They will provide advice at little or no cost and is completely confidential if you are afraid to speak with your parents.
