Late Periods: There are a number of reasons and health conditions that lead to irregular menstrual periods. These can range from stress, to malnutrition, medication side effects, and genetics. I do not know her age, but regardless of her virgin status she needs to have a good health provider. She needs vaccines to prevent cervical cancer; she needs to know all the basics of fertility and periods.

Hormonal imbalance: 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.
