I had mine once for almost 2 weeks.
This is normal for the first year of getting your period, so don't be scared if this happens to you.
but normally periods arrive once a month from 5-7 days.
At first it is a lot heavier (more blood) then towards the ending,, it lightens up.
Do not use napkins, they are too thin to completely absorb all of the blood and will leave you with a mess.
Use either pads or tampons whichever you are most comfortable with.

 hi i did a quick google search for you. try this website out
http://www.avert.org/puberty2.htm
basically, the bleeding lasts about 5 - 7 days roughly, there is usually more blood in the first couple of days then it gets lighter near the end. and about the tissue thing, you should use a sanitary towel or a tampon because there is a little bit too much blood for tissue alone to cope with.
