Maybe give some free advice about: Menstrual/Period Issues?
Well not knowing your ages, I can't say for sure its a problem that comes with a certain age group but If you are teen girls 17 or under, then yes it can be due entirely to age and no, its not necessary to go running to the doctor, not unless she experiences severe cramping or very heavy flows.
The irregularity of when a period comes and how long it lasts is perfectly normal. Why? Because the body at that age is still getting used to the changes of puberty and a great amount of girls will experience that irregularity even to the point of no period at all for a couple months before restarting or 2 periods only 2 weeks apart. You get the picture. It happened to me when I was 14 and I got regular eventually by 17 18. It also happened again at the point I began going through menopause, the same irregularities until it finally stopped altogether.
There is nothing the friend needs to do to become more regular if shes a teen. If we talking in her 20 or older, then there may be something wrong...not necessarily serious tho but more like hormone levels being off so she doesnt get it regular. She would need to see a Dr. in this case to discover whats wrong. Here's a link to the info on teens and irregular periods if that applies.

I advise she see a doctor, just to make sure everything is working normally.

Nothing to be worried about. Many women, especially young women have irregular periods. Tell her to talk to her doctor about it. She can take birth control pills to force the cycle to regulate but you don't want to take them if you don't have to.
Also, the doctor may want to check her blodwork for anemia or low iron in the blood as sometimes this can cause irregularities.
Hope this helps.
