Give your body time. I was over 17 when I first got mine. Don't stress over it right now. Just enjoy being a teenager.

Well, it seems like it's genetics. If say, your mother got hers late, this is probably why you haven't got it. You can see the doctor, and they will give you medicine, or a shot that will make you have a period. Stay healthy, too, because if you are underweight or missing calcuim, that could be the reason why it's a bit late.
Best wishes & good luck.

Some girls don't start their periods til they are 16, but I would recommend letting your mom know what's going on so that she can help you to keep an eye on this and also let your doctor know when you see them for your next check up.

Well you are a little light. Girls are all different but periods can also be delayed from being too skinny.

You still have time and since you are so small that may be one of the reason. ENJOY it trust me!!!
