Girl's just have weird bodies! They all mature differently and at different times. I had two close friends growing up. One started her period when she was 10, and the other was 18!
If you are sexually active you should go see a doctor. Even if you're not sexually active you may want to just to make sure everything is OK.

By 16, it's a good idea to have had a complete checkup anyway. So, you may as well go to the doctor and ask about it.

hehe, thats what sexually active means. well i heard been really skinny can effect ur period, but u should have or pretty soon get ur rag. this is a medical problem if u dont get it by 18. u should go get check by ur doctor. but i believe its ur weight causing ur period to be late. i wouldnt worry too much about it, (its not all that cracked-up to be

). plus worrying will only be makin it worse. wish u the best.
