Intercourse that "hurts really bad" is definitely not normal. Don't put up with it.
I can think of two possible explanations (there may be more; I'm not a doctor or a woman, so I'm not an expert): If you were recently a virgin, your experience may be the same as my first lover's. It took a surprisingly long time for all of her hymen to get stretched out/removed/whatever, and it hurt every time we had sex. The problem resolved on its own after a month or two. Or you may be experiencing vaginismus (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001487.htm), an involuntary spasm of the vaginal muscles. It's rare but it happens. Try taking things slower, way slower.
Regarding that lump, it's probably normal. From your description, it could even be your clitoris (http://www.clitoris-information.com/clitoris.html), in which case your boyfriend should not just go over it on the way to the vagina. (Come to think of it, what's wrong with that boy? With all the information available on the web today, he should be able to name everything he touches and draw it from memory.) Anyway, if it's not that but something inside, it's still probably normal--vaginas have all kinds of interesting textures--but don't take my word for it. Sounds like you're overdue for an OB/GYN exam. Don't be scared, just do it. Not to channel Dear Abby or anything, but if you're old enough to have sex you're old enough to take care of yourself, i.e. by seeing a doctor. Respect yourself and be picky--find one you'll be comfortable discussing the painful-intercourse problem with.
