Sounds like gum disease, such as gingivitis. Get to a dentist ASAP, before your teeth start rotting.

My dentist said my gum and teeth are normal and its normal to bleed a little when you brush hard.

Then try not brushing so hard! Get a soft toothbrush and toothpaste for sensitive gums and see if that helps.

Seriously? So, you went to a dentist and he/she said "everything is fine, all perfectly normal", and you came here to this nut farm for a second opinion?
You need to see a psychiatrist now! LOL

If it is normal or not depends on the circumstances like how old you are, how long its been happening, etc.

It is not normal for gums to bleed. Only if you brush too long. But most of the time, it's because your gums are receding as a result of plaque on the gum line.

That used to happen to me. I used to brush straight, now I use my brush In a circular motion and now it stopped, but I don't know if that's your problem.

I read the other comments, and you NEED to see a new dentist.
He shouldn't have told you that AT ALL (and I'm 100% sure- I wouldn't give medical advice if I wasn't)
Your gums only bleed if you have gingivitis, or problems that are worse, like receding gums or a more serious infection.
If your gums are bleeding, they are inflamed and probably infected. They shouldn't bleed at all when you brush, and you should floss at least once a day, and do it in a "c" shape so you get underneath the pockets in your gums.
Bad dental health can cause the worst pain ever, so please fix your brushing and flossing habits...and get a new dentist. Your dentist is totally full of shit.
