Women start their period when they hit a certain percent of body fat not at a certain age. You need to have at least 18% body fat to have a period. Many athletes have such low body fat that their period will stop. Don't worry, it will come. My sister was very slender too and she started when she was 15.

No one can say exactly when you'll get your first menstrual period, but you will get it some time during puberty. Puberty is the time in your life when you begin to become an adult. This means a lot of growing and changing - both inside and out. Some girls start puberty at age 8, and others may start as late as age 14 or 15. Each girl goes at her own pace. So don't think you're weird if you start puberty a little earlier or a little later than your friends.

vegetarian has nothing to do with it.
very underweight MAY be a factor, but you may be skinny because you havent started maturing yet.
weight of 94-130 pounds would be a good range depending on build.
you may just be a slow developer, the site below may be worth reading , so you can evaluate if other signs are present.
If its rewally a worry to you , your doctor should be able to tell you if you are developing normally.
Enjoy the lack of periods while you can .
oops , sorry , I am not a girl *

Don't worry about it. I've been a vegitarian for 4 years. I did not get my period until I was 14, almost 15. Some girls don't get their period until they are 15 or 16. You don't have anything to worry about. Everyone's different.

You are very underweight. I believe a girl has to be 100lbs before she can have a period. Your body needs to be able to support a pregnancy and it can't if you are underweight.
Calculating you Body Mass Index (BMI) I got 14.8. It should be at least 18.5.

no, you're just late in getting it. If you don't get it by age 16, talk to your doctor.
