I don't think that's normal. Maybe you should ask a doctor about it.

I wouldn't worry too much. When I was a kid I had a couple of nosebleeds that I still can't tell what caused them.

Nosebleeds are just burst blood vessles in your sinuses. You might have allergys that cause the blood vessels to get inflamed and then burst when you sneeze. I'd say try an alergy medication, but most of them dry out your sinuses and cause even more nosebleeds. If it happens once every couple of weeks, don't worry about it. If it happens daily or more than four times a week i'd get it checked out.

Also get it checked out if you have other symptoms like lots of bruises or cuts that take a long time to heal, you may have an internal infection that's causing you blood platelet level to drop.

It could be a sign of a deviated septum...I'd have it looked at.
