Is itching and burning a sign of having your period?
No, itching and burning have nothing to do with menstruation - these symptoms suggest that you have a vaginal infection such as a yeast infection, get an over-the-counter yeast infection treatment or go to your doctor for tests and treatment.

When does a little girl start her period?
The average age of menarche (first period) is 13 years old.
Anything from 8 years old to 18 years old is considered normal - there are also girls who start to menstruate under the age of 8 years old, known as precocious puberty.
How long after discharge does your period start?
There is no direct correlation between starting to experience discharge and menarche (first period) per say - starting to get discharge is one of many changes that occurs during puberty, and menarche is just one other change. Typically a girl will start to menstruate within four years of starting puberty, so if she has started to get discharge menarche will likely start within those four years.
