A member asked:
I have been having my period for 2 years now and it hasn't been very regular. i just got my period 17 days after end of the last period. is this bad?

Nope - you're normal: Irregular menses is very common in young women. Check out http://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/anovulatory_cycle for info re anovulatory cycle as cause of irregular menses. Hormonal birth control pills can be used to regulate menses but they don't prevent sexually transmitted diseases. You'll need to make your partners wear condoms each & every time to lower infection risk.
