well she has discharge already ok.
she's getting cramps all the time.
has severe moods swings yikes lol.
has big boobs already.
and has read a bunch of health books already.
sounds to to me Maddi that she is going to be having her period at any time now everything that you described above is all part of PMS she's almost a young lady now YAY and once she does start some of her behavior will come down once she understand it all..tell her just to keep her mind on other things right now and that she shouldn't worry about this right now it will come in due time and like i said it sounds like it won't be much longer....
nothings wrong with her
Doesn't sound like anything is wrong with her. Just sounds like she is going through puberty and possibly needs to control her anger a little better. (throwing things) lol She will probably get it soon because her body is "blossoming".
that sounds like it's on the way. she's kind of young, but that's not so rare.
She's not even 11 yet..so there's nothing wrong with her. Most girls get their first periods sometime between age 9 and age 16.
She can go to her pediatrician for a checkup and the dr could probably give her a good estimate as to when she'll get her period.
Yes, tell her to talk to her mother or an adult she feels comfortable with. It will come when her body is ready.
well the mood swings sound more like a temper tantrum and finding ways to get attention?
- she could be getting it soon but then again she might just be convincing herself that she is, every one developes at a different age so no book can ever tell her exactly when but it doesn't hurt to be prepared she should start carrying pads in her purse and bookbag so that when she does get it she has what she needs, it wouldn't hurt to carry a few ibuprofin with for cramps not everyone gets them but if she does she'll be glad she has them
Tell her to take her resting morning temp every day and record it. It will tell you when you period is about to start, like THE DAY it will begin.

There's nothing wrong with her, but she'll get her period soon.
