Yes, you are more than likely perfectly healthy. Everyone has a different sex drive, and for some women, it is very low.
You might want consult your doctor on the topic. It is possible that you have low hormones or something correctable if you have very little/no libido. Also, if you actually have a fear or aversion to sex, that may call for some therapy.
However, if you are happy with the way you are, you are fine!

Sure, if you're not interested in doing those things right now. We're all different. Some 18-year-old girls might find it very hard not to be sexually active and masturbate, in which case, it might not be healthy if they didn't. But if you are fine with not being sexually active and not masturbating, then that's healthy.

Sure. You do those things when you are ready, not on someone's schedule.

yes, it is healthy both physically and mentally.

Is it physically healthy to abstain from sexual practice? Yes. There are health benefits from masturbation in that it can relax people and lower heart rates, but it is certainly not something that you'll feel worse for not doing.
Mentally healthy? That's more of a complicated area, and it depends on a few things.
If you don't have any particular desire or wish to have sex or mastrubate and don't do it, then I can't see how that wouldn't be healthy for you, you'd just be doing what you wanted. The only time I can think of not being sexually active in any way as being mentally unhealthy for you is if you are denying yourself these things despite a strong desire to do them. If you are abstaining from sexual practices only through guilt and negative feelings about your body, then this isn't a particularly mentally healthy outlook. If you deny yourself any realease despite strong desires, you could end up with very ambivalent feelings about sex and sexuality. If all your feelings about sex are tied up with feelings that you musn't do it, repression of ideas and guilt about thinking about sex then you could find that when you do want to enter a sexual relationship, your held back by these mental fears and demons. That's not to say that if you think about sex you should be having sex, just that abstaining because of some strong emotions such as guilt can be emotionally scaring, and you should be careful to be honest with yourself about your feelings and realise that however you do feel is normal.

Ofc course it's healthy!! Some people just choose not to masturbate. And if you don't feel ready for sex then there's no reason why you should. So yes this is perfectly healthy!
