I was wondering what could be the cause for a young teenage girl to stop menstruating? I wouldn't like to think the girl is pregnant as this would be a probable answer from most but is there any other causes?

To H M women should not be ashamed to menstruate as it is a normal function and society and men and religion have made it dirty when it isn't.
Men please show a little decorum when looking at good looking ladies, boners are unbecoming at nudist beaches

Several reasons - firstly pregnancy. If she has only just started menstruating it can be quite irregular for a few months until she settles into a routine. An eating disorder such as anorexia or bulemia will affect hormone levels, and so can being incredibly active (say sports training daily). I also have a four week cycle when ovulating from my right ovary and a seven week cycle when ovulating from my left. I have had tests and nothing was found and was told it is just one of those things!!!!
If you are concerned it would be worth taking her to a doctor. Firstly he will eliminate the pregnancy side of things and then if that is negative, will investigate further.
And to the moron who says having periods is something to be ashamed of - grow up!!!! If it wasnt for normal female cycles you wouldnt even be here (some people are such idiots!!)

Menstruation is something to be ashamed of. Women really shouldn't talk about it in public.
And ladies, pleas show a little decorum and stop asking your men to pick up your feminine supplies from the store. It's unbecoming so plan ahead.

am not a doctor..but the only i can think is she might be pregnant.Though there are instance that they menstruated early (at an early stage). is her tummy hurts after the period stops..i suggest to see a doctor, this might be a serious medical condition.

getting too thin, hormone fluxuations, being very active in sports, being nervous, take her to the doctor.
