Dear Anon,
Thank you for your post. Because you are a teenager, having irregular period can actually be normal. As a teen your body is going through many changes and having a "normal" for your body right now, means having to skip a month or two. You may get your period this month but maybe not get your next one until August. It is also normal if you get your period for only 2 days this month and 7 days the next time.
With that being said, your period can also be irregular as a result of medications, excessive exercise, or thyroid problems. I would advise that since it has been 3 years since your period has been irregular, that you pay a visit to your doctor. He or she can better advise you whether or not this is just a normal reaction from your body or if further evaluation is required.
