Fasting and Menstruation: A Question of Age and Obligation

As-salamu alaykum, I've been wondering about something and I hope someone can help me out. I started fasting when I was 13 years old, but I think I got my first period when I was 11 years old. Does that mean I was supposed to start fasting at 11 years old, or was it okay that I didn't start until I was 13? And what about making up missed days - I've heard that if you miss a day of fasting, you have to fast for 60 days to make up for it. So, does that mean I'd have to fast for a really long time to make up for all the days I missed? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this, jazakum Allahu khayran.
