Ditto, cycles can vary from woman to woman. It can normally last between 3-7 days & shorter & longer from those days.
It wouldn't hurt to have a chat with your mom & ask her how long her cycle is & that you're worried about yours. Even though you don't talk to your mom about personal health issues, I think it's time to start & you'll feel better that you did.
This way you will know, what normal is for you & your cycle. :)

It's normal to bleed up to 7 days or more. I wouldn't worry about it unless you're bleeding a lot (like having to change pads every hour because of them being soaked with blood). Every woman's periods are different. Some may only have them for 2-3 days while some may have them for more than a week. Periods in one woman can even vary in length and heaviness of blood flow from month to month. I wouldn't worry too much about it...don't be afraid to talk to your mom though. She's been through this and can help you out. Hope this helps.

No, It's not too long...
I just got my period about 2 months ago, and as soon as I saw it, I told my mom (even though I was humiliated) and we don't talk about women's health either... she gave me some advice about it, and now when she brings it up, I get so annoyed (IT'S MY OWN FREAKIN BUSINESS)
but anyway, no, it's not too long and almost every time I go to the bathroom, I have to change too.
it sucks I know, and as a matter of fact, I just started my cycle again today, but I just have to deal with it.

dont worry, when you get your period for the first 2 years it is always weird, it can last from 3 to 9 days. you may even skip a period dont worry its normal, im afraid its gonna be like this for about another 2 years until it settles down into a pattern.

first of all calm down. its normal to have ur period for 6 days some girls have it for 7 days since this is ur first it takes like a year or 2 for ur period to get normal. write a letter to ur mom or just talk to her privetly and tell her that u got ur period and u need help. don't worry u'll be fine if u know wht to do. just ask her

hey dont worry about it. the first few months or your period are really random and bizzarre!! all weird things happen! during my first couple of months, i had a period that lasted 11 days!! then 2 weeks after that I got my period again! your period will start to become more normal in a few months, there's nothing wrong with you!

It's normal, my mom last 10 days sometimes, you should talk to you mom about a problem like that though, she will answer any questions.

It's normal for a period to last a week.
When I first started my periods, they lasted seven days.

Mine last a week or even more sometimes. No reason for you to be upset. You're normal. :)
