What do you make of the latest craze to sweep the US?
What happened when you got your period for the first time?
A scary moment in the school toilets or a sarcastic hi-five from your seen-it-all big sister? Well for these girls in the US their 'big moment' got marked in a more, erm, elaborate way!

Pick up your copy of March Sugar (on sale 28 Jan) to read all about period parties, or menarche parties as they're also called, and the girls who throw them.
But what do you think about having a party to celebrate starting?
Would it be mortifying or kind of amazing?
Have your say here! Comments please...
