Birth control shot.

I'm 16, I got my shot back in I wanna say May when I was 15 because I had some bad Back aches and my boobs hurt when I was on my period so my mom and I decided to get me on the shot because it makes the pain go away or not hurt as much. So many girls I have talked to said they do not get there periods.. I still get mine. Maybe for like 2 weeks, there long or week and a half. Never a lot of bleeding but just enough for a tampon.

I've looked it up and some articles say after a year you won't have your period or just some girls react differently to the shot. Is this normal?
