Just some grandfatherly advice here. This is the type of question we are more than happy to answer for you. But it is also the type of question you should not be embarrassed to go to mom with or your dad. Yes dads know all about a woman's period. What we may not know before marriage we quickly learn as soon as we marry.
Remember this please. You and mom share a common body type. Your period and certain things that happen to your reproductive system are not sexual in nature such as your period. Your mom is your best and quickest form of information concerning your female anatomy and any pains you may have or if you think something is wrong.
Missing a period is also normal for someone your age. If you miss more than one or two in a row and you are not sexually active you need to tell mom. You start with mom I'm a virgin but I have missed two periods."
This keeps mom from yelling are you pregnant and gets to the heart of the matter as to do you need to see a doctor. There may be other aches and pains you may experience that you do not understand. Chances are mom has experienced them and she will be able to explain why you are having them and if medical intervention is needed.
In short not everything about your reproductive system is sexual; you should not be embarrassed to talk to mom or even dad. That is what parents are for to help you grow through these problems of puberty [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

Just don't worry about it, it's perfectly normal for every girl. Hope my advice helped! :) [ Aquamarine's advice column | Ask Aquamarine A Question ]
