I get this question quite often from 12 and 13-year-old girls who have only had their periods for a year or less, and are not sexually active. Nothing to freak out about, because it's perfectly normal to have irregular periods until the hormones reach a more stable stage. It's very common in girls your age to be late or even miss a period entirely. Just relax and stop worrying about it. Eventually, you will settle into a more normal routine, where the periods come about the same time every month.

Don't freak out, it is normal to be late. If you are not sexually active don't worry. Sometimes you have a lucky month where you do not start at all or it may come a week or more late. BE PREPARED, when it is late or you skip a month, your next period may seem a little heavier than normal.
Hang in there, don't freak anymore. ;) Your body is still young and adjusting to many changes.
Take care, good luck

dude, its ok. your period is still irregular and if its a week late, dont worry. im 14 and my period sometimes comes almost a month to two months late and im not sexually active either and my mom had the same problem at our ages (she wasnt sexually active). but you should eat more bananas because they are the natural form of birth control. and i mean that it keeps your period on time, but bananas dont keep you from getting pregnant though. and dont freak out. you'll just put more stress and strain on yourself when its not needed. and yea you might want to inform your mom just in case. but if it becomes too frequent you might have to see a gynecologist.

For like the first five years of you period it's still irregular. If you no your not sexually active dont fret but if you wanna be sure just ask the doctor.

Don't worry, at your age it's common to be irregular. If you're not sexually active then you have nothing to worry about. But if you're still freaking out, can you talk to your mom or another woman?

Exercise seems to get it going sometimes. Go for a long walk, a hike, ride a bike, or do some sit-ups. If you're not sexually active, (sure hope you're not!), I can almost guarantee it will start the following day. I'm not sure why, but it just does!

My period was irregular for over a year after I first started. Don't worry, you are normal.

Dont worry. During the first year or two, it can be extermley irregular. You may even just be skipping the month. That isnt rare for people your age. Your fine.

you are young and your body is still maturing. Your body is still getting use to the fact that you get your period. I went through the same thing when I was your age and for two years after. Do not worry
