Challenging: Teens can have some variation in menstrual timing and flow; stress can impact it; infections (?STI) can; very early / unsuccessful pregnancy could; trauma or heavy exertion. It would be wise to have this discussion with your Primary or Gyn as to be able to self-assess what is normal for you and what needs medical attention.

Length of period : A reference from the Mayo clinic suggests that the length of a woman's menstrual period can be from 2-7 days. This can vary due to the woman's cycle, use of oral contraceptives, age and other variables.
