Plus, I've always been plump. Yay, science! Anecdotal evidence, of course, but I got my period at age nine (yes, you read that right), and I barely clear five foot one. Plus, I’ve always been plump.

Clearly that study is flawed. I don’t know when my mother got her period, but she’s taller than me and she had one daughter who is tall and skinny, and another who is average height and fat.

The linked piece doesn't say; it just says "earlier" or "later." I got mine when I was 12, and I'm 5'9" (no kids, hoping to keep it that way, so I don't know about the child-weight thing), so is that early or late or normal? Also, doesn't excess weight lead to earlier periods? Seems like these may be just be two things linked to being on the bigger side--earlier periods, plus genetic tendency to gain weight, which we pass on to our kids. Except: what’s early?

I AM short and overweight and I got my period at age 11. My sister didn't get her period until she was 14, like my mother, and neither of them are as short or fat as I am. Weird! Holy crap!
