When I was younger I had a problem with my nose drying out and I would get frequent nose bleeds. They pretty much stopped happening around 16. Don't worry bout it bud, more than likely you will grow out of it.

Relax! nosebleeds are common in youth. Sinus infections, colds, allergies, or dryness of the nasal lining makes them more likely to occur. Young kids and early teens often make matters worse by rubbing or picking their noses. If you get a nosebleed at night, you may find dried blood on the pillowcase in the morning. Again, there's no reason to worry.
However, you should call the doctor immediately if you get a nosebleed from a blow to the head or a fall. Also call the doctor if you have just started taking a new medicine and begins to get a lot of nosebleeds. If nosebleeds become a frequent problem or are occurring more often than usual -- especially if they're accompanied by other symptoms, such as bruising -- check with the doctor.
First, sit or stand up to reduce the blood pressure in the veins of the nose so that bleeding slows. Lean forward and spit out any blood, then blow your nose to remove any clots that may have formed. Gently pinch the nose shut near the tip with a tissue or clean washcloth, using your thumb and index finger to hold it closed. Breathe through your mouth and continue to lean forward spitting out any blood that has accumulated in his mouth or throat. Apply gentle but constant pressure for a full ten minutes.
Two things to avoid: Don't tilt your head back; that allows blood to flow down the throat and may cause vomiting. And don't pack the nose with cotton after a nosebleed; it can stick and cause bleeding to resume when it's later removed and any clots that have formed are disrupted.
If the bleeding continues longer than 15 minutes despite following these steps, call your doctor immediately.

Have you gone to your doctor to see why you are having regular nose bleeds? There might be something wrong. Get it checked out.
