Why are my periods late?

Why some girls have their periods late?

Answer:

Your question is formed using the word "girl". Many young girls can start having periods at the young age of 12 to 14 years; some even younger. Also, "girls" [upon starting their periods] can take months, or even a few years, for their body's to adjust and start what is considered a 'normal menstruation cycle' of [approximately] every 28 days. Another, quite possibly could be due to physical activity, such as school sports. Finally, your question seems to be a [very very] real concern. Therefore, as a totally nonprofessional, yet the father of 4 girl's, my recommendation would be to have her seen by an MD, OB/GYN; for a complete professional examination. As they say; "better safe than sorry". Hope this reminder does help.
