Is it normal for a 17 year old to still have very irregular periods?

Question

Ever since I've gotten my period when I was 12, I've been extremely irregular. Usually, it only comes two to three times a year. When it does come, it only comes for a day or two. Also, usually the color is not red, but dark brown to black. On another note, I've never even had a growth spurt, but have been growing very slowly, but nevertheless growing. Do you think that the irregular periods have affected my growth?
Could this be dangerous? Should I go see a doctor?
