Girls only, please?

I've asked this before, but I'm looking for more and better answers. (They weren't bad, but I want more help.) I had my first period when I was 11 years 2 months old. The 1st month I had them monthly started in April 2012, I was turning 12. Does that sound earlier than average?

Second, I'm 14, I started high school this year, and my last period was the first week of school. the week of July 30th. Should I be concerned? I don't have enough salt or soda to fully get rid of it, but I'll cut down anyway. How long can I go without a period and no problems? Should I ask a doctor? If so, what kind? I'll probably have to start with a pediatrician, since my mom takes me to one (she's an RN, she'd know where to take me.) How much longer should I wait? What should I do?

Update:

I thought soda and salt disturbed menstruation cycles but I must be wrong, Thanks for answers so far!

Update 2:

Caroline and swbarnes2 were okay, Miranda may have been a little to much, but the B!A calmed me down the most. Thanks to all answers!

    If you miss half a year of periods, then see a doctor.

    No girls can start at any age.

    11 is on the younger scale.

    But I know a few that did at that age.

    Why did you mention soda and salt?

    I'm confused as to your question?

    Yes you started a little young, no big deal.

    Yes you can miss some periods, no big deal.

    What's the problem?

    Soda and salt has nothing to do with it is there a chance of pregnancy? If not you need to visit a doctor I have a friend that only gets her period every two-three months after a year of trying to get pregnant she visited a doctor and found out that she does not ovulate normally causing her to" miss" periods

    If your mom is an RN, seems like you should be asking he this question. I have no idea what you mean by getting rid of it with salt or soda.

    Sounds normal.
