It certainly sounds stress related. Stress can definitely cause a delay in getting your period. It's just the way your body reacts. Masturbation is normal and healthy. Don't be afraid of it. Your diet could definitely have something to do with it as well. What are you so stressed about? Stress can have an effect on your diet. It's a vicious circle. You need to find a way to relax and eat better. Once you do that, your cycle should return to normal. However, considering your age, it's common for the menstrual cycle to be irregular. Many girls your age end up taking birth control pills to help regulate the cycle. You should talk to a gynecologist, who can help you with ways to reduce stress and improve your diet.

I'm not a gynecologist but would like to try and help if I can. It does sound like some of this is indeed stress related. I've had stress affect my periods before whether the stress is because of something good or bad.
You need to talk to your mom about this as well, and your pediatrician, especially because of the issue with not eating well.
