A member asked:

How old do you have to be to have pms?

Having periods: You have to be old enough to have periods. The age at which a girl starts her period varies by genetics and weight and fat percentage. The average age in the us nowadays is around 12-13, but of course some girls start before age ten and some after age 16. Moodiness like pms comes along with the hormones, but so do wonderfully female bodies and minds.
