Female assistance please!
So I’m a 13 year old girl and I got my period about 6 Months ago? ( not sure exactly when) And my period was starting to be predictable and then all of the sudden my period is 4 days late! I’m not sexually active (again, I’m 13) and I’m going on vacation with my dad and 4 step brothers in 3 days. Is it normal? When should I expect it again? Am I going to get it while I’m away??

Hey there, my name is Kori. You're just starting your period and that means that it will be irregular for a while. Your period can reroute itself. I started off having my period for three days every two months and then it got regular to five days every month. Don't worry but if you miss your period for about a month, tell your parent or guardian so you can get it checked out. Thank you for your time.

Bring supplies with you anywhere you go. At your age, the body is still getting used to the changes and won't be consistent for a while, even if it is for a handful of months, it can also stop for a few or be two weeks earlier or later. It happened to me when I was 14. I also learned the same thing happens again in menopause, it becomes irregular like that til it stops. SO don't worry, this is entirely normal.

I am not a female but I can answer your question. When entering puberty a females periods can be irregular or become irregular. Periods can stop altogether for several months or more. Female athletes can have their periods stop altogether if they train hard enough, which most do.
Just as important and may be why your period is late is anxiety and stress. Stress causes more late and missed periods then being pregnant. For many women stressing over being possibly pregnant can cause a missed period.
My advice is that you stop worrying about it for you know you are not pregnant to continue to do so will cause you to miss your period altogether. Talk to your mom or even your stepmom about this. Remember they were once your age and faced the same problems you will face.
My best guess is the anxiety or stress you are feeling has a lot to do about going on vacation with your three stepbrother.
