Some girls don't get their period until sixteen, although that is not the norm. Do you have any unsusual hair growth, poor breast development, deepER voice...perhaps pointing towards a hormonal imbalance? Check with your Dr.

No there isn't anything wrong with you.
If you are concerned, you might do well to see your doctor.
There is a condition called "imperforate hymen" that girls can have where you are actually getting your periods, but the hymen is intact and does not have a hole in it to let your menstrual flow out. It might be building up.
Then again, you probably are just a late bloomer like the rest of your family.

It is a little late but nothing to be alarmed about. If you are very athletic this can cause a delay in development. If you are alarmed than see your doctor for an explaination.

no there is not something wrong with you. it is just as you said, you are a late bloomer, so don't worry. talk to your docter if you don't get it in another year. good luck.

Not abnormal. If you aqe athlethic and/ or participate in alot of sports activities it sometimes causes this effect of late onset menstruation. Don't be in a hurry...You will be hating it when it gets there.
