I'm no doctor, but I've had this problem and in my experience, it's because my periods are still irregular. And especially, since you have only had your period for about a year -- you'll probably have more irregular periods.

There are so many reasons it could be late! If you haven't had unprotected sex then don't worry about it unless you go a couple of months without one.
At 14 you have a lot of changes going on. Hormones fluctuate, so much stress from school and boys, and friends, and do I look alright...normal teen anxiety. All can cause your period to skip a month. It may also come next week. All pretty normal.
If you had left a tampon in you would probably be hurting by now. It does happen (I have worked in an ER and know it to be true). If you ever feel you may have left one in and can't find a string, always go to your doctor or the ER and find out for sure.
I don't think you will need it but here are the symptoms of toxic shock syndrome. All girls should know what they are anyway. :)
Toxic shock syndrome from staphylococcus starts suddenly with vomiting, high fever (temperature at least 102 degrees Fahrenheit [38.8 degrees Celsius]), a rapid drop in blood pressure (with lightheadedness or fainting), watery diarrhea, headache, sore throat, and muscle aches. Within 24 hours, a sunburn-like rash appears. There also may be bloodshot eyes and an unusual redness under the eyelids or inside the mouth (and vagina in females). After that, broken blood vessels may appear on the skin. Other symptoms may include: confusion or other mental changes; decreased urination; fatigue and weakness; thirst; weak and rapid pulse; pale, cool, moist skin; and rapid breathing.

You probly just have an irregular period. its normal and just to let you know if you have a tampon in you from last month you probably should just go straight to the hospital.
