If she is overweight - especially at the onset of puberty, then it could be something called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. She's have to have a sonogram of her ovaries to know for sure. This disease comes with many other symptoms, but most are so fague she wouldn't know if she had it anyway. I have it, and it's good that she's having periods every few months, prevents them from putting her on the pill or hormones to make her start. The best way to find out ANY of this is to go to the Gyne. It'll be ok, and nothing at all to worry about :)

I had the same problem at the age of 19...I went to my Doctor and found out I was going through early menopause..I was giving hormones pills (not birth control pills) that I had to took for about 3 months. After that I was normal again...I worried about having problems in the future having children..But I had no problems getting pregnant. I have to very healthy kids.

first of all, your cousin's friend? that's a loop to get yourself concerned about....
anyway..
Even at the age of 16, one's period can become irregular. Its probably taking her longer for her body to become adjusted. Its also possible that she is very skinny. Fat is necessary to convert estrogen which is necessary for cycles. If that's the case, she needs to gain weight by:
* increasing high fiber complex carbohydrates
* reducing sugar
* adding Omega 6 rich oils to her food like Safflower Oil and Soy. Make sure these are quality oils like organic. The rest are rancid and carcinogenic.

This could be many things, something simple like young age and hormones going up and down, or something more serious like endomytriosis. She should really see a gynecologist if she is worried, well all women should see a gynecologist once they start their periods, it is nothing to fool around with or put on the back burner!

Everyone is different and there are all kinds of factors like illness and stress that can cause you to skip a period. The only way to really know is to go to a GYN and like them figure it out.

the gynos will tell her they don't know what's wrong. they only have degrees to study health issues. i had a period for 3 months continually. i was prescribed a year of low dose hormones (they do offer some that won't make your skin freak out) and have been fine for 12 years now

Is she very skinny? Or athletic skinny? Like a marathon runner? Does she eat enough food. You need to have a balanced metabolism. If she's the marathon runner type....no need to worry.

If she is really athletic that is common. If she is really stressed or anorexic it is common as well. She needs to check with a doctor to make sure though.
