Its normal for your periods too be delayed for a number of reasons including ,
Problems with your hormones
Being severely overweight
Stress
Changes in diet and excercise regiemes
Certain medications
Pregnancy
First things first , if your sexually active get a pregnancy test done , you can buy them at the pharmacy and most supermarkets and there usually really accurate.
Secondly , 15 isnt that long! stress is probably the biggest factor and worrying about your period being late does count as a form of stress!!
Thirdly , DO NOT eat raw paper. If anything it will make you feel sick not too mention this is highly unhealthy and discusting.
Lastly , if its still delayed in a few weeks go and see your GP. Being overweight can interfeaar with your cycle and its also important that you rule out any hormonal reasons as too your weight gain.
Good luck!

First, go and purchase a home pregnancy test to rule this out. Even if you are pregnant you would not necessarily experience symptoms this early. If you are not pregnant, then there are a number of reasons as to why your period is late. Weight could be a factor along with eating habits, stess, and environmental changes. If you have experienced irregular periods before, I would suggest trying birth control pills to help regulate your cycle. This is a great way to do this while also obviously preventing future pregnancy scares, reducing cramps, and sometimes even shortening the length of your period. I hope this was useful, goodluck.

Another reason for the period being delayed could be stress. The cause of the stress good or bad can affect our period and when it comes because of being easily excited.
My recommendation would be to double check with your dr to be on the safe side and see what they think.
