Missing period: At age 21 years old, menopause would be VERY unlikely. This is likely due to hormonal imbalance. Your gynecologist can assess to see if there is a problem causing this irregularity.

Need more info: If you had sex since your last period, you may wish to get a blood test for HCG which is more sensitive and specific than a home test. It is very unlikely that you are entering menopause at your age. Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.
