This is normal: There are MANY things that can cause a girls hymen to tear other than intercourse. Most girls do not have intact hymens because physical activity alone can tear it. So a girl who is very active in sports or just playing can tear her hymen without ever knowing it. Using tampons also typically tear the hymen, but the majority of girls have already torn it before they even start menstruating.

Hard to say: Some women are born with no hymen, a limited wide shelf like hymen or lose it through childhood trauma, self sex, or other event. If you have not had intercourse, you are a virgin, the hymen is not the defining feature.
