As long as your not sexually active then you have nothing to worry about. Like the person before me said it can be stress related but at your age it probably isn't. Teens have unusual cycles because they're bodies are going through all these changes and our consistent i guess would be the best way to put it, don't worry

you could just have an unsual period. I do I would go 4 months with out a period. stress causess a late period or to skip a period id talk to your doctor. if you want to regulate them birth control is your best bet.

I agree with what Amarete I will also add the following :
There are some reasons such as being underweight a or overly athletic that will cause you to miss periods. If you ever watched the Olympics you will notice the female athletes do not have well developed bust lines and they also do not get their periods while they are training. Once they stop training their bust line develops and their periods return.
I'm not sure exactly what this is. It may be for the same reason underweight women have problems with their periods. Which is the body is designed to protect the important functions of the body. In an under weight person the body will do everything to protect the heart an brain, shutting off everything else to keep them functioning.
In a very athletic person the body may shutdown the production of hormones and things to provide the extra resources the body needs to maintain the muscle production as the athletic body has little stored fat for reserves.
I also suggest that you talk with your mom or another ADULT female you trust if for some reason mom is not available. Your period is nothing to be ashamed about. This is a normal bodily function for females and has nothing to do with sex or sexual activity. Yes, it is part of your bodies reproductive cycle but it is not part of your sexuality and does not have anything to do with sex. So you should be able to speak openly a freely with mom and or your doctor about this without embarrassment.

Sometimes you can be irregular and skip a month, especially if you've been under stress lately. But two or more skipped periods in a row is cause for concern. I would talk to your mom (or stepmom, or grandma, or whomever you trust with this) about it and see what she thinks. She'll probably be worried that you're pregnant, so you'll need to make it clear that there's no chance of that. She might want to get you in to see a doctor, or she might want to wait and see what happens. But if you skip your period the next time it's due, you absolutely need to see a doctor. Amenorrhea (loss of menstrual period) can be a sign of some very serious medical conditions and you shouldn't try to handle it on your own out of embarrassment. Good luck, and I hope it's nothing serious!
