Our bodies are constantly changing from the day we are born until the day we die. Puberty is the period of time when children begin to mature biologically, psychologically, socially and cognitively. Girls start to grow into women and boys into men.
This process can take a year or even six years. This time period is when a child's body takes on those characteristics that define it sexually. Both males and females bodies will each take on a different shape. Keep in mind that everyone matures at their own pace, but that eventually we all catch up. Puberty leads to adolescence.
Adolescence is a transitional period between childhood and adulthood. The changes of adolescence do not occur on a strict timeline; instead the changes occur at different times according to a unique internal calendar known only to the person. Adolescence can be a very difficult time. You are no longer a child, but you are not an adult yet either.
For girls, puberty can begin between the ages of nine to fourteen. For boys, it will be around age ten to seventeen. (See the charts on the next page for girls and there is one for boys, for more details). The whole process can last from only one year to as many as six years. Lots of things are happening. A boy is becoming a man, a girl a woman. Puberty also brings adolescence—those new thoughts and feelings. Sometimes these physical and emotional changes don't happen at the same time. A girl or boy can possibly mature emotionally before they do physically. The opposite is also true. This can be a very difficult time. Sometimes kids who start to develop early are not prepared for the myriad changes going on in their bodies. Boys also feel that their bodies are out of proportion. These feelings can make one very self-conscious and even feel very socially isolated.

Sometimes periods will be irregular. Five days is normal, but some women have them for longer or short times. But since it's your first time, I would definitely see a gynecologist. If nothing else, you need to get a basic exam to be sure everything's OK. Tell him or her what you're concerned about, and he or she can answer your questions. I'd go to a female gynecologist, just because you might feel more comfortable with someone who's gone through the same things you're going through now.

When your body first goes through mestruation, it is normal for you to have longer periods (and shorter) basically unpredictable. Your hormones are adjusting and it will take a few months for you to be able to predict when your period will come and how long it will last.
Some women have shorter, lighter periods, while others have heavier, longer periods. Any of these scenarios are perfectly normal. And it’s also normal for a woman’s period to be different from month to month and to change over time.

It's okay that it's lasted this long, especially because it's your first time. It won't be regular for about two years, but that doesn't mean it will always last this long. Wait a little bit longer and if it doesn't go away, tell your mom. I know it's kinda awkward, but it's just something you have to do. If it's really heavy, I'd say something now, but if it's not, you're perfectly okay. =]

Your body is adjusting and the hormones are not balanced yet. Be sure to take your vitamins with iron. (Do not take more than the suggested dosage!) Iron should help incase you are anemic.

I think you shoud tell your mom. Or, if you dont want to, just wait a little while longer and if it continues go tell your mom or go see a docter.
