Is Is Normal To Have Irregular Periods With Heavy Bleeding Just After Attaining Puberty ?

Hi, My 13 year old neice attained puberty during end of December 2010. From then on her periods have been irregular. She recently got her periods after 6 mnths and the bleeding was very heavy, and was there for 6-7 days. Is is normal to have irrgular periods at this stage? Should we take her to the doctor and get any tests done?
