when will I get my first period?

Question

Hi I'm 12 yrs old and I was wondering if u could tell me when I will get my first period so...

I started puberty when I was nine (pubic hair) and when I was 10 I started getting discharge (I spotted not long after that) and i started budding (I am an a cup now) 
Also I am getting cramps but they are so short and not really frequent at all. I also have under arm hair ( I don't have a lot, and it's not thick - but it is black ( blonde is my hair colour) and I shave my legs every week - the hair is blonde but it was starting to get noticeable.
As far as sex drive goes, I started masturbating  at ten. And I get aroused even when I see a boy that is hot (tmi much lol)

I also can eat freaking everything rn and I have BAD mood swings. 
I don't know if this has anything to do with it but I'm sorta feeling down rn for god knows why 
I also had a growth spurt of about 10cm in the Christmas holidays (along with 5kg - probs from pudding 😂)

Oh and my mum got her first period when she was 11 and my sister got her first period when she was 12.

And I have like 6 pimples on my face right now.

Thanks for helping me - I don't want to be at school looking like I came of the set of jaws 😂

Answer

You'll get it when you get it. Literally the best answer you'll get here, because no one is a magical period fairy that can tell you the exact date and time you'll get it. I'll tell you now though, it isn't instant "oh my god I'm gushing blood down south". For me, it was a long while of awful abdomen cramps (like, "curl up in bed and cry" type of cramps) and brief spotting. I didn't start really bleeding until I peed later that day, as awkward as that is. So, like someone else suggested, just be prepared with a few pads!! And enjoy your last days of being periodless.. I promise you, it's nothing to look forward to!!

Answer

Take a purse with you to school and put some pads, wipes, midol and maybe a water in there so you will always have them just in case. I started cramping before I started my first period but they were intense cramps (they were always very painful till I got on BC) so you'll probably be starting it soon!
