I would get this checked out by a doctor. A period shouldn't last that long. You may be able to regularize your menstrual cycle with the birth control pill. (You don't have to be sexually active to go on it.) The Pill should make your periods shorter and less heavy.

its totally nomal

I used to have that. I'd have a month-long, very heavy period, and I'd be off for a week, and get another month-long period. My doctor told me it was an iron deficientcy. I started taking vitamins for it and also went on birth control to help it and I'm regular now.

Having a 21 day period doesn't sound very normal. You should check with your doctor. Good luck.
