I am 16, Im not new to having my period, I'm a virgin, and I haven't had my period in a while, maybe going on 5-6 weeks. What is going on?? I'm 99.9% positive that I'm not pregnant because the only thing that ever happened to me was a boy tried to finger me, I didn't let him, but he ended up touching me for one second! I highly doubt that did anything but still Some one please help me out here!!!

The answer from DearAbby92 is absolutely perfect. I couldn't have said it better.
At 16 years of age you have absolute medial confidentiality; meaning you can have a private consultation with your doctors, without a parent listing or observing. The doctor by law cannot reveal any of your conversation or results of the examination without your expressed written permission.
I tell you this so you can consult with your doctor about using birth control to regulate your period, should you want too. Even though you are a virgin and may have no intention of becoming sexually active; you may want to use birth control pills for one of there other benefits. This is the ability to regulate a woman's period. This is something you may wish to discuss in private with your doctor.
Remember when talking to your doctor(s) there is not much if anything they have not heard before; so there is nothing for you to be embarrassed about. If you have questions or concerns you doctor is your best source of information Always be truthful with your doctor(s) in answer their questions so that they may make a proper diagnoses. This is your body; you need to supply all the symptoms to the of what is bothering you. You have the right to know what is going on with your body and be involved in selection of any treatment. This is the law and has been since you turned 13.

It's totally normal for your periods to be irregular. Some women NEVER have regular on schedule periods, and some have a few irregular periods or skip a period. That's fine.
I'm sure you aren't pregnant. Don't worry about that. Things like stress and change can mess with your schedule.
If you don't get your period in a few months and you feel that it has stopped completely then I would see a doctor. But for now, enjoy it!
