periodss
I just got my second period. it was 4 months apart from my first, is this normal? I know at first its not regular, but 4 months! Also it was brown with red ontop, is it normal for two different colors? And it was very heavy flow. Is it normal for the first few periods to be heavy...thanks in advance!

The brown was just dried up blood.
And yes, 4 months is normal. Some people get very irregular periods at first.

The answer to your question is that periods are not regular at first. How do you know that the flow was heavy? What I mean by that is what do you have to compare it to or how do you know what's 'normal?' I'm not surprised that it was heavier than your first period. Heavy flow is when you are bleeding enough that you have to change your maxi pad or tampon more frequently than once every two hours because they are soaked and would leak on your panties otherwise.
The two colors are because the lining of the uterus is old blood and other things. You will get some brown first, then some red as there is fresh bleeding from the lining of the uterus. You may get more brown later, as the blood gets older and turns brown. Sometimes it takes a while for the blood to be expelled and that means it has an opportunity to turn brown.
Don't worry, but if you really think something's wrong, speak with your Mom, sister, aunt, or trusted friend. I remember being so worried about my period. I was almost 14 years old when I started, but I *did* start eventually and no amount of worrying changed what was going to be.
I hope I have helped.
