So i accidentally cut my gum a little & it started to bleed & straight after, my nose started to bleed too. is this bad? or is it just normal?

Probably normal: If the bleeding stopped within reasonable time and it only happened once, I would not worry about it. Bleeding like that happens commonly without having a disease. if you're having recurrent gum or nasal bleeding as well a easy bruising, I recommend seeing your doctor.
