Hey Debi,

For all girls, regardless of the age they begin menstruation, the

average weight is 103 pounds. However, height at menarche differs

depending on age. The average height for all girls at menarche is 62

inches, but later-maturing girls are, on average, taller than earlier-

maturing girls. 12-year-old girls have been the same average height

and weight for over 50 years in this country. There are many factors

that influence onset of menstruation, such as nutrition, disease,

exercise and high altitude. I would tell this girl to eat high

quality, nutritious foods, don't diet or over-exercise, don't drink

sodas and limit or cut out caffeine.
