Ok so I've been dating this guy for awhile and we decided to have sex but once we started I had to stop because the pain was so bad. And I've been bleeding ever since and it was 12 days ago and I'm very worried . Help? Is this normal?
It is sonewhat normal to bleed during your first time having sex, but if it is still continues to bleed, see a doctor

When you say bleeding, are you spotting as if you were having your period coming on or are you seeing bright red blood an still having pain? Describe the pain, is it dull ache, sharp and intense, etc. When you were having the sex, was it a tearing feeling or just like a rubbing raw feeling due to little lubricate? These are question you should ask to help see how serious this is. Not to be nasty, totally normal for all, but was this anal sex and if so, is the blood lumpy, which is described as clots in the body's attempt to stop the blood and or is it just smears once in a while.

This is sound advice. Often we get so scared to ask these questions for many reasons, parents don't know you are having sex, just too scared to have others know you are having personal problems. I am 42 and still very nervous about asking a doctor personal sex questions for society totally makes you feel and or look like a freak if you admit to any normal body's function or desire. Don't be, you only harm and put yourself in danger of illness that are totally preventable if you only self educate, advocate for yourself and if you are too young and scared that elders will totally freak, be strong.
I used Planned Parenthood to answer my questions and now if you don't want parent's insurance to find out, call your local social services and ask for the health department to see you even to just sit down and ask, but do not ignore your body's silent language, if in pain or even minor, go get support from a professional. That way you can stop any possible minor issue from become big and then you are forced to tell parents or others.
Oh, and totally do not be scared to demand to be seen by the male or female nurse or doctor of your desire. I am not gay and it has nothing to do with being so, but I began at age 13 going to be checked yearly for I normally had yeast infections which turned out to be totally normal, but totally freaked me out. When one is still a virgin and scared, you tend to want the same sex for you may feel they understand your body since they are the same sex as well. Advocate for yourself for you are sacred and must treat your body as such.
