Hi, lucky333
It is not a good things to have period from 3 weeks. You must go to doctor. Just tell your mom about it and if you feel shy ask your mom not to tell any one else in the family. You can go to doctor with your mom and tell every body at home that your going for shopping or anything else. If you don't want to tell even your mom then you can go alone to the doctor and tell her your problem but please go to doctor as soon as possible . But the best idea is to tell your mom.

priya srivastava, who are you telling not to ask a question??

Lucky333, definitely do not stop eating. I don't even want to know how you figured out if you stop eating the bleeding stops but I can assure you that not eating is not a healthy choice. You're young so it is normal for your period to be somewhat irregular but having a period for three weeks does seem like a bit much. I agree that you should consult your mother and probably a doctor too if it continues much longer. Just pull your mother aside in private. And I know at first its uncomfortable having your family know when you're on your period but, since I'm sure you'd figure this out on your own sooner or later, it's really not a big deal. Everyone knows that sooner or later evey woman gets their period anyway and its only as big of a deal as you want to make it be. ;)

DO NOT STOP EATING, NEVER STOP.

As far as bleeding so long, YOU NEED MEDICAL ADVICE.

PLEASE see your doctor.
