you dont have to ge it by the time you are 16.
there are a few things that you should look at here:
are you an average weight for your age? Not obese, not too skinny, being an unhealthy weight can contribute to late blooming.
next look at family history. In some cases, a look into the family history can reveal a reoccurring lateness from your mother, grandmother, sister, aunts, etc. it could be just how your genetics work.
check your other development on your body.
are you also late and blooming breasts, hip, etc?
now, if you dont get it by 16, that could be signs of infertility, but it is common nowadays for girls to not have their first menstrual cycle until they are about 18 yrs old.
if its something you are that concerned about, go see an endocrinologist, an obgyn, or your family physician. they should be able to tell you what the hold up is, and make sure you are healthy.
