Some cats give "love bites" and that is a form of affection, they aren't actually doing that out of hostility. Sometimes they may clamp down a little harder and don't mean too, they don't realize that you don't have thick fur!
If your cat is aggressive and is biting, then it's probably because something is making it fearful. I cannot tell you more, since I don't know the history of your cat.
Sometimes if you keep a spray bottle handy, you can shoot a bit of water on them to deter that behavior. When they associate biting with getting a face full of water, they tend to stop doing it.

I guess u have it for a while, give more time and let it mature more as the cat will get lazy less active and prefer to be alone. At times when they get too carried away while playing with you that they forget you are not a cat as cat usually bite each other while the are playing. As long as they they do not sprang their claw you know that they are playing. I have 15 cats I know.

Is she declawed? I ask because biting is a common response in cats who can't scratch.
Biting and scratching usually occurs as a result of the owner’s actions. Some owners find it nearly impossible to resist wrestling with a tiny, playful kitten, They will wrestle the kitten with their hand letting the kitten bite and scratch them. This might be cute when the kitten is little but as it grows and the kitten's strength increases it can become very painful and the kitten will often draw blood.
To stop your kitten biting and scratching you can try the following tactics.
A kitten craves your attention and wants to play with you but you should try diverting his attention away from your body parts by having a soft toy (or selection of toys) of about his own size handy. Shake the toy or move it in an enticing manner. Encourage your kitten to wrestle with the toy that you are holding.
Withdraw play if things get really rough and the kitten begins to bite or scratch you. Just as a kitten learns from his siblings and mother he will also learn from you. If he bites or scratches and becomes overly aggressive you simply end the game. Tell him in a stern voice 'NO' and with a loud clap of your hands walk away from the situation and ignore him.
If the kitten catches you unaware and latches on to your arm or leg you might not have a toy at the ready for diversion. Try not to move too much, (this can be difficult when you are in acute agony) because if you do this will give him the impression you are participating in the game and it may incite him further. As gently as possible disengage the kittens teeth or claws from your body. Then tell him NO, scold him and walk away. Make it clear to the kitten that you will not be a party to these rough-house games.
You can grab your kitten by the scruff of the neck and hold him down briefly and growl at him if he gets too rough but sometimes this can backfire on you. Your kitten may interpret this action as a cue to become more aggressive because he thinks you are joining in the game.
Crazy KittenDon't allow your kitten to play roughly with you if you want to discourage biting and scratching. Be consistent and don't give your kitten mixed messages. Don't allow aggressive behavior one day and then the next day punish him for it. You need to get the message across to your kitten that this behavior is not acceptable every time he gets rough. Be very firm and make it clear to him that drawing your blood is not the type of play you wish to engage in. You need to use a stern voice with a loud 'NO' and a clap of your hands if possible. (That is if he hasn't got his teeth and claws wrapped around them)
Use techniques such as squirting the kitten with water from a spray bottle only as a last resort if nothing else works. This is a harsh a punishment for a little kitten. Loud clapping and a loud NO should be enough.

Your cat may be very bored, not the right things to entertain it.
At Walmart you can get "Smarty Kat Super Scratcher" for $5
in cat supplies. They love using it more than once a day and
it will work for many months. It is corrugated cardboard for
cats to scratch and clean their claws while excercising. The box is 5"x19" rectangle, comes with catnip to sprinkle on. Though
domesticated, the instinct to bite is their form of playing with
each other and wrestling. I PROMISE YOU when you take your cat's paw and rub the box a few times, she will love it, and no
more torn paper, less biting, if not poked, for You!

shes acting like a pretty normal cat when they dont trust their human companions. Chewing paper IS NORMAL. Maybe you should have done some research into cats before you got one.

if you've only had her a short time she needs time to get used to you and her new home and people around her. she may be scared of all sounds until she feels safe with you. give her time to gain your trust. tell her, 'i love you" i tell my cat that all the time and my cat understands it!
