I have irregular periods. like i sometimes go 8 months without having one. should i be worried, since i'm only 17?

Consider treatment: You don't need to worry per se, but you are not likely ovulating regularly, which can have an impact on your bone health and your endometrial lining (if present for many years). Discuss treatment with cycle control-either oral contraceptives or cyclic Progesterone with your healthcare provider.
