I agree that stress is the greatest factor to delayed periods and yes the delay can be up to that long, as long as tremendous stress continues. The body is under stress also when fighting illness so colds, virus's and flues will also delay a period. Next is the fact that females who spend enough time together on a frequent basis like family, school or work, will find their cycle re-regulating its start time to coincide with that of other females so end result is that they all are on their period at same time. If its a little of all 3, then for sure it could be delayed so long. However, if as said it doesn't start next month, I'd see the Dr. You might want to check with your mother to see if she had any non pregnancy related issues of delayed periods when she was younger. There may be a condition that runs in the family that is treatable.

The last thing you want to do is get stressed out as stress is the number one cause of missing a period. Given your age and the time of the year are you stressing out over the Prom, finals and graduation. If so this could be the cause of your late or missing period.
The prom and graduation will take care of themselves and you will find that perfect dress at the price mom and dad said you could spend. Finals are another thing and stressing over them are not going to help you get through them. If you have been a good student and know the material then you will do just fine. If you are not a great student you still have time to study. Ask the teachers in those courses you are not great in for some study material. I'm sure they will have something to give you to help you study for the finals exams.
Getting all stressed out over finals will actually work against you. Getting stressed out over the Prom and graduation will rob you of the once in a lifetime experience so try to relax.
If you miss your June period then I would suggest you see your GYN. Though since there is no chance your pregnant I'm confident the problem is just stress.
