You need to see a doctor as soon as possible because this can be a sign of serious issues and can cause some damage to your health.
I had my period for almost 2 months solid before I was seen by a doctor. He then evaluated me and told me that I had low iron, which is not good for the body to function at. He was very concerned over it actually, and said I was probably that way for weeks since I hadn't gone to a doctor when I realized my period wasn't ending after 2 weeks.
Two weeks should be your limit. Sometimes women will "spot" for a few days so that should be considered into the two weeks. If you are still going after two weeks, even lightly, you need to be seen. Bleeding for that long of a period is not normal and definately should never happen to a healthy woman.
I ended up having a cyst on my ovary. Cysts are fairly common now but can burst and rupture your ovary, rendering you infertile while causing massive amounts of pain. Nothing may hurt right now but a cyst can be growing. Only a doctor can diagnose such illnesses and they usually prescribe a medication (usually hormonal birth control) to reduce the size of cyst. Regular check-ups will be required to insure your safety.
Please see a doctor immediately before you damage your body long-term. Bleeding for this long is very hurtful and hard on the body. Call a gynecologist to have an exam soon. When you call, inform them of how long your period has been going on so they know that this is something that needs an appointment NOW and not just a regular check-up.
I hope all is well with your health. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me! :)

Go to your doctor to check everything is running as it should be.
There are a number of reasons as to why this is happening to you.
Periods can take years to regulate and it could be a simple case of yours not being regular yet - or something which may need treating.
No one here is a doctor, so we can't diagnose you - especially over the internet.
Good luck.

See a doctor. Period irregularity is tricky because it could be nothing or it could serious. They can put you on the pill to regulate your period and they may do blood work to check your thyroid (hormonal thing) and maybe an ultrasound to check on your uterus and ovaries.
SEE YOUR DOCTOR THOUGH.
When this sort of thing happened to me it turned out that I had cysts on my ovaries that could have turned cancerous if it hadn't been treated when it was, and I've lost the ability (save for miracles) to have children if I wanted to one day. Do not let that happen to you.
