Normal: If you have not had any sexual activity at all, there is nothing to be worried about. During the early years of puberty,the menstrual cycle may be irregular. If you have had any sexual intercourse with or without protection and you miss your period, get a pregnancy test done to make sure you are not pregnant.

Delayed menses: If you haven't not had sex, you will not be pregnant. Please ask your guardian or parent to take you to your pediatrician or family medicine doctor to find out why your period is late. In the first year, it is common for menstrual periods to be irregular. Your period may be delayed by anovulation due to stress or illness as well. No reason to be worried, there are many reasons, most not serious.
