No, it is not normal to miss your period for 9 months at a time. Common causes for secondary amenorrhea include stress, hormonal imbalance, being underweight and extreme physical exertion. If you feel uncomfortable talking about this with your mom, talk to your school nurse about this. Your school nurse will contact your mom if there is a real problem.
have you tried using birth control to regulate your periods??? I used to have the same problem when I was about your age and they put me on birth control to regulate them I would say have your mom schedule a gynecological visit for you and go and see the doctor alone so you can discuss this problem.
