Dear Andrea, you are a very bright girl and I am glad you are keeping a close eye to your body's development. One thing I will bring up is what Diane P eluded to, NUTRITION. Most girls today are not eating right. Your own investment in your health at your age will define how your health will be later on. So, stress is normal but you must learn to manage it. There are many natural stress reduction modalities like deep breathing, meditation and physical movement like walking or other type of exercise. But it is GOOD nutrition that includes veggies and fruits that will protect your developing body from all sorts of complications.
Your body's alert system already let you know once that something was not right. A delay on your cycle at your age may not be too alarming as your body is still adapting to the hormonal changes, but keep an eye on any patterns that do not look right to you. Diet, exercise, positive outlook in life, breathing, movement and hydration will promote a wonderful response from your body. I hope you find someone to talk to about your concerns. If you have a pediatrician, make sure to keep routine physicals scheduled. But it is up to you to reach out. Maybe you would be nicely surprised to share your concerns with your sister or mom. Give it a shot!
Thanks for NOT having sex yet! It is refreshing to read your posting on that. Why complicate your life yet?
