hi;
delayed puberty is when a girl does not get menses even after 13 years of age.It is not life threatening & requires investigation for the cause.Mostly the cause is hormonal;or related to proper development of internal reproductive organs .the only reaction you can give to delayed puberty is to investigate the cause & get treated.
thanks
