Some people freak out about this and you dont nessecarily need to go to a doctor even though Im not saying that you shouldnt or it's dumb it's totally fine if your really that worried about it but I wouldnt fret about it some girls dont get it till they are 16 and your only 14 going on 15 so my adice is dont fret about it and enjoy your time without it because I got mine and it is horrible so dont fret and enjoy the time without it :)

It is true that everyone is different and have their "menarche" (first period) at different times.
However, there are some guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics as well as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists which state the following:
1. Girls are on average 12-13 when they experience menarche.
2. You generally have menarche two to two and a half years after breast development. Think about how long you have had breasts and other signs of puberty to determine if it has been more than 2 1/2 years.
3. There are some reasons you may want to see your doctor...
A. If you have had other signs of puberty for 3 years with NO menarche.
B. No menstrual flow by the age of 15.
A few things your doctor may want to check are your hormone levels and your diet. Both of these could cause issues.
If you are concerned, you should talk to your mom or an adult female you trust and ask that you see your doctor. He/she will be able to put your mind at rest that you are either perfectly normal or there is a plan of care that can be taken to get you on track.
Best of luck.

Everyone's hormone is different. Some people get it sooner, others get i later.
I would talk to your doctor if you're concerned.

My best friend didn't get her period untill two months after her fifteenth birthday. And she's older then me by a month.
But I myself got my period in either 5th or 6th grade.
If I remember correctly, my sister didn't get hers till 11th grade.
Everybody is different. And everybody will get their period at different times.
Yours is just taking longer.
Honestly you should consider yourself lucky.
Cause once you get it you've got 40+ years ahead of you with an unwelcomed monthly visitor.
