When I had sex for the first time, that night my hymen started bleeding. I knew that was normal but is it normal for it to KEEP bleeding days after...such as, 6 days later? because I keep finding blood on my panties...I dont know what to think.

Have you had sex since the first time? It's possible that the initial cut in your hymen is being repeatedly irritated, so it hasn't had a chance to heal. Try to be gentle down there for a bit.

Is it possible that your period is irregular, and you are spotting?

Incidentally, it's quite normal for your hymen to bleed once in a while after sex, even if it's not your first time. Masturbation or inserting a tampon can sometimes cause small tears too.

If the blood flow is very heavy and you're in a lot of pain, you might want to check it out with a doctor.

are you continuing to have sex?

if you tore anything during sex, you really need to stop all sexual activity and tampon use so that it can heal up.

if you are not still having sex, and the bleeding is persisting it could be a light period, or it could be spotting. spotting is supposed to stop within a matter of days (like 2 or 3) if it goes longer than that, it is a good idea to call your doctor and make sure you didn't seriously injuer anything in there. Also, you must tell your doctor you had sex. don't worry, they won't tell your folks. but it will help them in diagnosing the problem.
