Bleeding gums

For the past week, brushing my teeth has caused my gums to start bleeding. They're now too sore for me to brush properly (I have to be very light with the toothbrush). They also hurt when I ate a piece of fruit this morning. I can see 4 tiny little nicks on my gums - top and bottom - where the bleeding occurs. What could be the problem here? The only thing I can think of is Gingivitis, but I'm not even sure what that is, other than the fact that it involves bleeding gums! Can anyone help?

Have they gone a dark red and has the colour of your teeth started to change?
