Yes. Too much stress can mess with women's menstrual cycles, no matter the age. Also, overexercising without replenishing the calories lost can delay menarche. For example, gymnasts are usually "late bloomers" because of the extreme stress put on their body every day. Plus, these athletes must maintain a particular body size, so food restriction is not uncommon. Their low levels of fat cause late menarche.

Menstruation is part of a whole menstrual cycle, in order to menstruate you first have to ovulate - however if you are at all unwell your body will try to delay or skip ovulation in order to prevent you becoming pregnant when unable to cope. Thus if you are suffering from stress ovulation may be delayed or skipped, thus in turn your period would be delayed or you'll skip your period all together that cycle.
