I went Vegetarian about 4 months ago. I have felt the same. No worse for wear (ie, no headaches, pallidness, nausea, etc) but then again I haven't been feeling the alleged "lightness" and amazing feelings some vegetarians say they feel. I have been eating a very well-rounded diet. I eat all sorts of vegetables from broccoli to onions to peppers, etc and a ton of fruit (especially grapes). I eat only whole grains and I don't eat lots of junk food (aside from the occasional frozen yogurt). I am 5'4 and weigh 115 lbs. When I went vegetarian, for about 2 months I continued to be regular with my period (I got my first period when I was 14, but I've always been really regular). My last period was oddly heavy and I had a lot of pain. But ever since, I haven't had my period at all. It's been over 2 months, and I'm starting to get a little worried. This has never happened to me before, as I said before, I am super regular and get a 7 day period every 28 days or so. Any idea why this is happening? Should I be worried?

PS. I have no known medical conditions and I am not any more stressed than the average teenager.

Do you eat enough food wich contains iron? You need not only fruits and vegetables but also nuts and seeds. If you don't eat diary I think also you should take B12.
And you should visit a doctor.
If I were you I would do that.

visiting a doctor is good advice for a teenager like you;)
