Some girls don't start until they are 17 or 18. However, if she is extremely underweight or overweight this can cause her body not to menstruate. If she is concerned she should see her dr.

Is your friend athletic? If she is or she is small and thin this could be why...Also when did her mom start??? cause heredity also plays a role... If she is really concerned she should go see a gynecologist and have an exam... Also if she is taking Birth Control sometimes that will make a period not happen... But I wouldn't worry about it....

Nothing's wrong.
My niece has her period around that age.
She's very small which may be a factor, but I'm not sure. So how does your friend looks like?
