Research shows, girls who get first menstruation before the age of 11.5 years tend to experience depression at the age of 13 and 14 years. Then, the new get first menstruation at the age of 13.5 years are relatively less likely to suffer the same symptoms.

"Girls who mature earlier may feel isolated and have to face reality and change, where they are not ready emotionally," said head researcher Dr Carol Joinson of the School of Social and Community Medicine at Bristol University, as quoted by NY Daily News.
