Answer 1

hiya caitlin, it normal and it will get heavy as you get older.when you get pain full periods,which a lot of girls do,ask your mum to buy you primrose oil from the chemist.its very good and it easy the pain alot.all my girls use it.they have nearly a pain free period.you might be one of the lucky girls who does not get pain.good luck.xx

Answer 2

It sounds perfectly normal to me. When your period is ending it can become more brown than red.  

Answer 3

yes, this is normal!  because you have only just started, thats why its more gooey and brown. it doesnt necessarily mean you will be light flow, its just because you havent had many.

as the months go on, you will go to heavier,red blood definitely.

dont worry!
