Hey! Congratulations on becoming a woman!
Don't worry - everyone is different. Things, and periods, differ from girl to girl.
It depends on many things such as
-how much exercise you get (compared to how much they get)
-the foods you eat
-your stress levels
There are many factors, so every women is different! There is nothing wrong with you.

It's not the same with all women in families. My sisters get light periods, but me and my mom get heavy periods. It's normal. It might also be because it's your first period, or one of your first.
