You mean a very dark yellow/reddish/orange
color?
Because you're either not drinking enough,
or, you ate something that is making it
red. Those are the two most common causes,
neither of which are too dangerous (though
get something to drink right away!).
You may also have blood in your urine
though I don't know what that looks like.
Either way, drink some clear fluids like
water, give it a day or so, and see if it
goes away. If it doesn't, or is associated
with abdominal pain, then tell your
parents if you live at home to take you to
a doctor.

That sounds really painful, unless it's
something you ingest...

If it was blood you would be able to tell,
at least from my experience. Amber pee
just means you're dehydrated or ate
something (like Eiri said). It should go
away.

When i had a bladder infection....not
saying thats what you have cause you would
know something was wrong....but i had i
think 3x the amount of blood in my urine
that a normal person has wtih a bladder
infection and i could only see it on the
toilet paper which was VERY VERY VERY
light..it was just like a redish/brown
tint, and that was on white toilet paper.
SO unless its a hell of a lot of blood i
don't think thats what it is.

does it burn or stink when you pee?
when I've had a UTI, my urine was that
color. Drink cranberry juice, eat yogurt,
buy some over the counter AZO or something
similiar....and call your doctor to see
him/her.
