11 seems so young doesn't it? My DSD is 11 and we found a pack of pads in her school bag last week when we went to put her lunch in. Not sure if she has her period yet or whether they're just there in preperation, but she hasn't spoken to me about it and we have a really close relationship. But it was a shock when we found them as she still seems so young! But a friend of mines daughter got her period and she's 10! Kids just seem to be growing up so much younger these days. Although I was 12 when I got my period so I guess it's not that much older.
