every time right before my period i get burning in my vagina and right after my period is ending like its last day it burns again,its been doing that since i was about 13 and im now 15 ,is that normal?

It sounds like it’s probably normal. Some people experience this kind of burning sensation because of the hormone shifts that happen around the time you have your period. But if it bothers you, starts to feel like it’s getting worse, lasts longer than usual, or if you have any unusual vaginal discharge (green, grey, foamy, clumpy, and/or has a strong fishy smell), talk to a nurse or doctor, like the ones at your local Planned Parenthood health center, to make sure you don’t have an infection.
