I have the same problem, and it seems to be just genetic because my aunt had the same problem as an adolescent!.
I read in the Merck manual that nosebleeds can be caused by something called a deviated septum in your nose!. Here's a copy and paste from that book!.
"Usually, the nasal septum is straight, lying about in the middle of the two nostrils!. Occasionally, it may be bent (deviated) because of a birth defect or injury and positioned so that one nostril is much smaller than the other!. Most people have some minor deviation of the septum so that one nostril is tighter than the other!. A minor deviation usually causes no symptoms and requires no treatment!. However, if severe, a deviation may block one side of the nose, making a person prone to inflammation of the sinuses (sinusitis), particularly if the deviated septum blocks drainage from a sinus into the nasal cavity!. Also, a deviated septum may make a person prone to nosebleeds because of the drying effect of airflow over the deviation!. A deviated septum that causes breathing problems can be surgically repaired!."
I have noticed that this is what's causing mine!. I am 16 and they have slowed down considerably over the past 2 years without me doing anything!. It's probably just a phase that you'll eventually grow out of it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My boyfriend has the same thing, he's been to the doctors multiple times throughout his life but there's nothing wrong with him!.
I would see a doctor to be on the safe side!. I don't think it can do real harm, although if it becomes more frequent you could become anemic!.
