ceiling fan wiring help, please

someone hooked up a ceiling fan with lights for me, and did it wrong, because it didn't work properly. It turns on through a switch, that also turns an outlet on and off near the door. I took it down awhile ago, and did not label wires, as it was wrong. I am ready to hook up another fan/light, and need help on how to do it. I have 3 black wires, 3 white wires and 1 red wire coming from the ceiling. Should there be that many? Am I correct in thinking i need to connect and cap two of these seperately, as they don't have anything to do with the fan? It just seems like a lot of wires. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. It is starting to warm up, and I am trying not to use the a/c all day and night,

Beth
