There are many possible explanations that you have not had a period for several months:
- Teenage girls can have extremely irregular periods (period for a few months, than no periods for a few months). Can you tell us how old you were when your periods began, and if they are regular (occurring about every month, with 25-30 days inbetween) or if they are irregular?
- Excess stress, extreme weight loss, recent illness, new medication, birth control pills... these can all cause changes in your cycle
- Underlying medical condition
- Otherwise unknown reasons
Do any of the above possible causes/reasons sound like they can apply to you?
Do you have a trusted adult that you can talk to, regarding your period (and lack-of-period?). It is not out of the question to talk with your Pediatrician or Doctor, too.
Lastly, about the "Am I Pregnant" question. Have you had any Sex Ed in school, or need more information about how women become pregnant? If you have never had sex, I'm wondering why you are worried that you could be pregnant?
