ok i'm 14 and i have a menstral problem... everytime i get it it always over flows it's like no pad is thick enough for me... it's embarassing especially at school because everytime i get it i stain myself at least 1-4 times =/ and the worst of it is that it lasts for 11 days which isn't normal... i went to the docters but my dr. only said that periods are always abnormal in the 1st 1-2 years... so what i wanna know is if anyone knows of any kind of pill or medication that could help me?

The normal cycle runs from 28-35 days which can explain why it doesn't come on exactly the same day every month.
As for the issue of pads, try getting the kind of pads that are for overnight to see if that helps. Always is a good brand to use not only because they have product lines for each kind of period but they are comfortable to use. One of their product lines is for overnight.
As far as medications to ease periods there's the birth control pill but you would need to have your mom's permission to do it. Because you are concerned about your periods talk to your mom about getting another opinion. If it's been more than 2 years since you have had your period start this should be evaluated by another doctor such as a gynecologist to see if they can help you to figure out what's going on.
In the mean time you can also try upping your iron levels during this time by eating things like spinach, raisins, and peanut butter (if not allergic to peanuts of course).
But please for sure definitely discuss this issue with your mom.
