Well, I know I'm not pregnant because I haven't done it. So can my period be late sometimes? I need to know! Thanks.

yes your period can be late due to stress, fluctuations in your cycle or not eating as much. If it gets really inconsistent I would suggest that you visit your doctor and make sure everything is ok.

Yes. Periods can be late, early, sporatic, and even stop for a while.
There are many reasons for amenorrhea (absence of period). Weight gain, loss, exercise, stress...just to name a few.
There are also some more medical reasons: thyroid disorders, ovairian health issues, etc.
When in doubt consult your physician.

Yeah you don't have to be pregnant to miss your period. My one friend gets it every 5 or 6 months and she dose not take birth control.

Yes, your period will be irregular for the first few years.

You can be very irregular when you're young and you can skip a period. But you want to be very careful and if it persists, get to a doctor.

Yes
And sometimes it depends how long you have had it. If you just got it, it is so normal. My doctor said that the date can change until 10 years!!

No worries... if you are young, it is just your body trying to sort itself out. If it persists on being irregular, have a word with your Doc. There may be something he/she can give you to help sort it out.

Yup! If you can completely rule out pregnancy and your in your teenage years this is common. Your body is still trying to regulate itself.

Sure can!
The first few years you can be very very irregular.
There is also stress, physical activity, surgery, antibiotics, etc.
