Nerves can cause your vagina muscles to tighten up, a lot! This may be your body's way of telling you you're not ready for this. But there is also a condition many women suffer from that makes sex very painful. I can't remember what its called, but it makes the vagina muscles very restrictive and the cervix is too short and tight, meaning sex is literally painful. I once knew a woman who suffered from this and was even married. She had sex once in 7 years of marriage! When she finally went to the doctor AND a therapist, she was able to eventually beat the issue, both physically and mentally, and now things are fine. Go see the doctor. It is weird that its still bleeding. You need to get this checked out, if only for your own peace of mind. Good luck.

It is a little concerning that you're still bleeding and that it's causing you pain. There are a couple of possibilities.
1. Vaginismus. This is psychosomatic, basically an involuntary tightening of the vaginal muscles, often due to expecting pain. Like a reflex where you're bracing yourself for pain and of course that makes it worse. You could try lubricant (seriously, this is many women's best friend) and taking things very slow and see if that helps.
2. It *could* be an STD. Have you been using condoms? Unusual pain and bleeding is a symptom of chlamydia, which is easily treated and curable.
3. It's possible that you had an unusually thick hymen... but if you're not having any trouble inserting tampons (Are you?) I would discount that possibility.
Make an appointment with your doctor. Get screened for STDs to rule that out (Now that you're sexually active, you're going to need regular pelvic exams anyway), and if you're clean and clear, try the lubricant. Lots of women are not able to naturally lubricate enough to make sex easy and pleasurable, so they all rely on lube. It's cheap and easily available at any drugstore.
If I were a betting woman, I'd put my money on lube being the answer.
