Women reach puberty @ different ages. See when your female relatives started, this will give you a clue. 15 is a little on the late side but not uncommon. If, you're worried go see your doctor or check out Planned Parenthood & talk to a counselor.

Every woman's body is different, it could be a normal thing that you havent had your period yet. This could also be due to stress and anxiety, anorexa nervosa, and several other factors. Find as much information as you can about it online.... I found your question by trying to find answers online to a different problem relating to my period. Find proffessional medical websites, look for information here, ask questions, type in things in your browser, or make it easy on yourself and go see the doctor :). Talk about any symptoms that you think you may have, the doctor will ask you the right questions to figure out what, if there is, anything wrong with you

It doesn't hurt to see a doctor -- however, body weight has a direct effect on menstral cycle. You will not get your period unless you have at leat 18% body fat. People who are slender or athletic sometimes have a later period. If this is not the case it could be hormonal. However you still may have a few years 1- 3 years to get your cycle. But ask your dad [or if your uncomfortable an aunt/ cousin etc.] if you can see your general practitioner.

Yes. It never hurts to see the doctor. But don't worry yourself too thin, we all have different bodies and different time clocks. Some females get periods as early as 6 or 7 and at the lastest of mid-twenties.

everyon is different, but im sure you hear this all the time.
Your body doesn't release these hormones until you are ready and this will come at a time when your body has enough body fat and if you are eating healthy etc. I would say to go and see a doctor just incase.
