See your Gyn: As teen, can often be irregular due to growth / life / hormonal changes. Severe dieting / physical or emotional stress / extensive physical activity / bad infection / etc., can all cause missed periods. 3 months w/o should be discussed w/your gyn to be sure nothing going on that needs addressed. If might be pregnant, check hpt.
