It's not normal, but it's also not unheard of, especially among girls in their early to mid teens and women going through menopause. If you've just recently started getting periods it's more likely to be just crazy hormones than anything serious, but extremely frequent periods could also be caused by, for example, an ovarian cyst or tumor (I once knew someone who had a benign tumor on her ovary, and would get her period every three days or so if she didn't take birth control pills to regulate her hormones but she didn't have any other problems from it). If it was just a one-time thing, I'd recommend you discuss it with your doctor at your next check-up. If it's a regular thing (as in your getting a period every other week) you should probably schedule an appointment with an OB/GYN as soon as possible.

I wouldn't consider more than one period within the same month normal. However a lot of people suffer these type of issues when on some form of birth control. If someone is not taking their pills around the same everyday you can experience what is known as breakthrough bleeding which can seem like an additional period. If however you have no contraceptive method responsible for this then you may want to see a doctor because 30% of a woman's iron is lost through her monthly cycle and you are having what seems to me multiple periods within the same month then it could possibly be dangerous for your health. And there is also a possibility the excess blood could be coming from somewhere else and something else could possibly be wrong in your reproductive organs. I suggest you see a doctor in reference to this as soon as you can.

This depends on your age, if you are going through puberty this is not unheard of. Even still, you should seek medical attention, contact your physician, preferably your gynecologist.
If you are not currently going through puberty this is not normal. Seek medical attention at the next oppurtunity. If bleeding becomes volumous, and excessive, have someone drive you, or call an ambulance to the Emergency Room.

No, you're only supposed to have a period once a month (or every 28 days). You could have a problem, ask your doctor.

No, especially if you are usually the regular every 28 days or so....you need to get checked by a doctor.
