There is a very wide age range that is considered "normal" but 16 is pretty late. You should probably go to the doctor to make sure nothing is wrong. Most girls start their periods about 2 years after the beginning of breast development. Some outside factors can result in a delay. If you are extremely thin and/or athletic the lack of body fat can keep you from getting your period. There is also a genetic factor, if your mother was late in getting her period there is a good chance that you would be late as well.

no, i didn't start my period until I was 18, if you are really active and not stressed out that much. you won't start until a later age.

yes there may be, it is time to see a gynecologist. especially if you have breasts, pubic hair and underarm hair.
