Missed/late period and I'm a virgin?
I am an 18 year old female and my period has been really erratic lately and sometimes it doesn't come at all. Usually it's pretty regular and I can pretty much expect it at the same time every month. But now I just don't know. Should I go to the doctor? Could it be something serious or is it just a normal thing?

Irregular periods is a totally normal thing for all females. Things like weight gain/loss, stress, exercise, and eating habits can also make your period late. Don't psych yourself out! But if you're really concerned, you can go talk to your doctor about getting on birth control. BC can help regulate the period and keep better track of when its supposed to come.

You may have an irregular period. Some women have this problem or situation.

Periods can be unpredictable and come later due to stress or illness, or sooner if your body is regulating to the pheremones of other women you are around on a daily basis who may have theirs. So that is entirely common. However you mention sometimes it doesnt come at all. Something may be wrong with your hormone levels and that while not as common is an issue known about by Drs. and they can test for it and give you something to make you regular again. So go see your Dr.
From a lifetime of yearly visits to my Gyn, I can say that their biggest concerns that they always warned me to come in immediately for was if I had severe pain in the area or very heavy bleeding that wouldn't stop. Since you don't have those symptoms, I am sure it is nothing serious. However in the long term, if not treated, it may make it very difficult to conceive children someday.
