Well every girl is different .. different girls flow differently I flowed for 4 days at a young age and medium flow.. as I got older I flowed ten days at a heavy flow for 9 days and then the 10th day just tapered off by 11 I was done.. different things can effect your flow.. getting sick, having cysts and other problems if it is not normal for her, she should get checked..but really she is young and sometimes that can be just due to irregular periods..and such, but if she is bleeding a lot she should see the Doctor so he can rule out any possible problems.. Likely hood is she is just fine...

LOL.. Well have her keep a closer eye on it.. She should Go to the doctor, rule out other problems..you can't get web diagnosis in here that is the safe thing to do!...Shes more then likely just fine.. just irregular still sometimes it takes a while while the body matures to become regular... and some of us always remain irregular.. so just have her keep track and monitor, and in case there is a medical problem..go see her Dr. cysts are common to get and may effect the flow also..Catching a cold can also delay it and mess things up also.. medications also!

This article about periods, the menstrual cycle and period problems may be helpful.
