I got my period when I was 13. Most of my friends got theirs when they were 12 (so I was impatiently waiting for mine to start!), and a couple were younger than that (one as young as 9).
I was on the later side of developing and was always small. Then I had a growth spurt in 8th grade, my boobs grew and I caught up a little with my friends. But I think it would have been harder if I were an early developer.
Were you a late or early developer?

Average, and then late.
Period was 12. Bra at 11.
But then I didn't really grow boobs or gain weight until I was 18-20.

Early. I got my period at 11 and had bigger boobs than my friends at most points in my life starting in middle school.

I was on the later side. Didn't get my period until I was 14 and my boobs didn't really appear until I was 16/17.

Both? I got my period at 11 but then didn't really sprout out in the bra department until like 16/17. I've always been fairly small-chested.

Early, at least compared to my friends. Got my first period right before my 12th birthday. And I skipped training bras and went right into a real bra because they seemed to show up overnight! I hated it. My mom didn't get hers until 16 and has never had much in the boob department so I wasn't ready when I got mine.

I was early. I got my period at 11, wore a bra at 10 and was a lot bigger than the other girls at school - height and build. I hated it. I felt so fat - I didn't want to be shaped like a woman I wanted to be shaped like everyone else. As an adult, I'm only 5'4" so I guess I just developed early.

I was a late bloomer. I didn't fill out until college.

Way late! I didn't get my period until I was 14 and didn't develop boobs until around 15. But when my boobs came, they just wouldn't stop growing!

Early compared to my friends. Period just after my 11th birthday and never wore a training bra but a real bra at 11 as well. Although, I was bigger chested than all my friends in elementary school, they all outgrew me by jr. high!

I think average? I'm not super tall so I did reach my adult height fairly young though lol.

Early - I had my growth spurt in 5th grade and started AF then as well. I was the tallest in my class, but in 6th grade, everyone else hit their growth spurt and I was done growing. Now, I'm always the shortest. Sad!

Early, I guess. I was wearing a bra by 9 or 10 and started my period at 11. I remember being so traumatised by it, my Mum let me have a day off school!

Normal? didn't start developing until about the 8th grade. I reached my full adult height the summer before 8th grade, got my first period around that time. I never really had to worry about boobs didn't have them then barely have them now

Average I think. Bra around 11 or 12 and period at 13. I remember my mom saying I should/could start wearing a bra and I was mad because I didn't want to, haha. I think my friends all had their period before me though.

Early. I got my period at ten, and was in bras early too. I hated having a curvy figure and always felt fat. I was the tallest girl in my grade for the longest time, but everyone caught up to me by 6/7 grade and by then I'd stopped growing.

Super late, I didn't get my period until I was almost 16, started wearing a bra at 12 but didn't ned it until probably 14. I hit 17 and my body finally caught up with the rest of my class (2 cup sizes in one summer and grew 5 inches!)
