Hi There
Here are some ideas on how to heal the issue.
Cause
Bruising occurs due to blood that leaks out of capillaries, generally after an injury, and collects just beneath the surface of the skin.
Bruising is more common in children, primarily as a result of accidents. Bruising also occurs more frequently in women than in men, which may be due to the estrogen demands of vitamin C on the body.
Bruises that do not fade after a week, or are recurrent without cause, may be signs of bleeding disorders or vitamin C and bioflavonoid deficiencies. Or they could be signs of underlying stresses on the body that continually deplete the vitamin C stores. In such cases, it is important that you see your physician.

Natural Cures
Aromatherapy: Put a few drops of lavender oil on gauze compress and place on the bruise two or three times a day. Other essential oils that can help heal bruises are camphor, fennel, and hyssop.
Diet: Eat a whole foods diet that emphasizes foods rich in vitamin C and bioflavonoids, such as fresh fruits, green leafy vegetables, and buckwheat.
Flower Essences: Rescue Remedy Cream® can be applied on bruises (minimum four times a day).
Herbs: Apply a compress made with oil of hyssop or a mixture of tumeric and honey to bruise.
Homeopathy: Arnica, Ruta grav., Hypericum, Hamamelis, and Symphytum are all useful remedies for bruising. Calendula lotion is another highly effective homeopathic treatment for bruising.
Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments.
Juice Therapy: Drinking the juice of carrot and beet can provide necessary nutrients to help quicken healing time.
Nutritional Supplementation: Vitamin C with bioflavonoids and rutin, alfalfa tablets, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin E, and iron are all nutrients that can speed the healing of bruising.
Topical Treatment: Mashed yerba santa leaves soaked in hot water, applied to the bruise and covered with a clean cloth, is a very effective treatment for bruising, as is a compress made of the chilled infusion of comfrey or sage. Applying a slice of raw onion to a bruise can also speed healing time. Alternatively, you can apply commercial witch hazel solution to the affected area.
Best of health to you

You need to tell your parents and go to the doctor this upcoming week. You don't just get bruises for no reason. Something is going on. You either have some kind of vitamin deficiency or a medical issue that is causing the bruises. Get to the doc so you can stop the bruises!

Possibly from being bitten by bedbugs? Do you have any lumps?
Change your bed linens. If it still happens I'd go see a doctor. Or possibly you just like rolled over in the night and hit your body on the wall or something?

There could be some medical issues going on that require a doctor to find out. or you could be restless in your sleep, my advice. Go to the doctor immediately please. It may be the latter but it is far better to be safe than sorry.

you should get to your doctor and tell them about this as they could do some blood work and let you know if there is a problem that they could get to work treating.....please go to the doctor, please!
