It's not necessarily bad, but it is something that you should have checked out by a doctor. There are many things that can keep an otherwise normal young woman from having a period for a long time - extreme dieting, very intense exercise program - but there are some diseases and hidden illnesses that can also be the underlying cause. Some of those illnesses may not have any other symptoms, and may be easily treatable before giving you other problems, so see a doctor. He or she will be able to find the cause, and if needed, begin treatment.
Irregular or missed periods can be an indication of underlying health problems. However, it is normal for a women to miss an occasional period throughout her life. Some women have menstrual cycles that are longer than a month but still come at regular intervals; this is not a cause for concern.
Not necessarily, if you are active or under a lot of stress it is common to miss. I am not a doctor or anything but i have had abnormal menstrual cycles my entire life. I have gone 3 months with no period and then bam there it was and only lasted two days so just relax its the wonders of being a woman.

It could be any number of things, some of which are fairly harmless and some of which may be life-threatening. She should see a doctor.
Go see a doctor ASAP.
No, it isn't bad if your period starts a week earlier than you predicted. Menstrual cycles change all the time for various reasons, and anything up to a weeks variation in your average menstrual cycle is completely normal.

No, taking a shower on your period isn't bad at all - you can do anything during your period that you would do any other time of your menstrual cycle, and just like any other time of your cycle you should bathe regularly to stay hygienic.
Yes, being sick can affect your menstrual cycle by making your period late. Stress, whether good or bad, can have the same effect.
Yes, some women have cramps more severely than others. It's often recommended to use menstrual medication such as Midol to help with all the symptoms of your period.
Worse than what? Your period shouldn't be bad to begin with, if it is then talk to your doctor about the menstrual problems that you suffer from and do something about them. Ibuprofen is a painkiller so can be used to deal with menstrual related headaches and menstrual cramps. Ibuprofen is also an NSAID so will help to reduce menstrual flow too, it's often used to treat heavy periods.
Not at all - don't worry about it, it will start when it is ready to start and then you'll start wishing it hadn't !
Finding raccoons in your yard is a bad sign, period. Dead ones.. you should be a bit suspicious about the cause of it.

Menstrual cramps are common but they are not normal - most people can prevent menstrual cramps with lifestyle changes, but if severe you should talk to your doctor about finding the cause. Tampons can increase menstrual cramps as they can expand into the cervix. You may be better using menstrual cups, softcups, or pads if you find tampons increase your menstrual cramps.
It's neither good nor bad to wear shorts during your period, as long as you use sufficient menstrual products to prevent leaking you can wear whatever you want.
