I haven't gotten my period for two months!!!!
I am a 13 year old girl and have gotten my period since I was 11. My period comes from the first through the seventh of each month. I know that it's irregular for the first few years, but in the last few years I have never been a day late. I'm not sexually active and I don't even masturbate! Is this bad? Should I be worried?

Lots of things change the timing of your period. Stress, exercise, the way you eat, ect.
I don't think you should be worried but just to make sure and be safe, I'd suggest talking to your mom or go to a gynecologist. A gynecologist can check and make sure that nothing is wrong. Only we can make guesses but they will know for sure why this is happening.

This is probably nothing to worry about. Things such as stress, changes in diet, physical exercise even certain medications will cause your cycle to be off.
The correct thing to do is to have a talk with you mom. If your mother is like most moms she is well aware of her daughters cycle. If she was concerned she would have said something to you by know. My mother would search the trash in the bathroom my sister and I shared looking for evidence my sisters period arrived.
Your period is a normal bodily function of a women, just as normal as any other bodily function. There is no reason if you are concerned not to discuss this with you mom. After all she has the same bodily functions as you do and would know if after talking with you, if there is a problem or not.
One very good reason for missing a period is stress. Given the time of the year it is with final exams and the changes in lifestyle that come with studying for finals, could be the reason behind your periods not coming. This could be the reason mom has not said anything to you as all women will on occasion miss a period during periods of high stress.
As I said there is nothing sexual about a women's period. You are now stressing over the fact that you have missed two periods which could delay even longer your period from returning. For your own peace of mind I suggest you speak with mom. She can put your mind at ease or suggest weeing a GYN.
I may be a male but I have lived with my wife for 42 years come next month. Before that with my sister and my mother. All men your dad included become very familiar with a women's menstrual cycle. So you could if you want even talk with dad if need be. There is nothing to be embarrassed about.
I would suggest you start the conversation as you finished you note to us. Mom, "I'm not sexually active and I don't even masturbate! Is this bad? Should I be worried?" Then go on from there.

That is normal for a girl your age. Your period can change very often even if you don't have sexual activity.
