Answers:

There is no reason to worry. Your periods are just regulating. There are other reasons besides pregnancy why girls might have a late or missed period. These reasons include:
eating disorders,
excessive exercise,
travel, medications,
premature ovarian failure,
menstrual disorders,
breastfeeding,
birth control pills or hormonal drugs,
Illicit drug use,
stress,
hormonal problems,
changes in hormonal levels,
illness,
a diet that's too low in fat,
changes in sleep patterns or exercise,
or just a menstrual pattern that hasn't become regular yet.

Stress is the most common cause of a late period. It can take a while for a young woman's body to adjust to hormone changes and begin to "run" smoothly and regularly. She might have a light flow or a heavy flow, the length of the flow may vary, or her periods might be late. She might even skip some months. Most likely a young woman's periods and cycles will become more regular as she grows older.
