Answers:

First of all DO NOT listen to LuLu. Getting your period is a wonderful event and signals your body getting ready for motherhood. It does not mean it is ready but preparing.

I'm sure you know with your period you'll have a vaginal discharge of blood and tissue about every 28 days. It can last anywhere between 1 and 7 days. For the first year or so you may not be every 28 days. Maybe shorter or longer and may even skip month completely.

You may have a normal period which means just that. You have the discharge. However you may feel emotional or tired. You may be cranky or even feel puffy and bloated. You may have cramps which can be mild or very intense. Try over the counter meds first and if things get bad ask your DR for something. There are lots of options these days.

As for puberty, you should see signs before you start your period. Your breasts will start to develop and could be tender. You may start seeing more hair on your legs as well as pubic hair and underarms.

I can't say enough how wonderful you are to be blessed with being a girl. Do not let anyone tell you (like they did back in my day!) that it is 'the curse' or anything bad. If you do suffer cramps or any other symptom try to keep you chin up and realize that you were created woman and it is a privilege. I personally think that is why Mona Lisa was smiling.
