Q: loose stools and very tired

Hi everyone. I am a 17 year old male with a few symptoms that are currently worrying me. Alright, for the past few months (and possibly before, I honestly can't remember...) I have noticed that I have had somewhat loose stool. It is not that it is watery, but it is not as solid as I feel it is supposed to be. Also, it is a pale brown color which is starting to worry me. Tonight, when i used the restroom, I noticed that there were dark red spots in my stool (which certainly worries me...). The other symptom that should be mentioned as far as my stool is concerned is that I have small bowel movements every 3-4 days on average.

The other thing that is unrelated is that I have been feeling very tired lately, which may have nothing to do with it. I should mention that I have been VERY bad about my eating habits over the past few months. I do not know if this is the cause or even if they started at the same time. It could be possible that I am simply eating too little and am feeling tired as a result. Now, I know that the typical answer is go see a doctor, and I am planning on doing that. I have an appointment at the beginning of February. What I am looking for is what y'all think this is. Am I looking at most likely having Cancer or could it be something else? If it could be something else, what would it be?

Again, PLEASE let me know soon! I am getting worried and need some peace of mind! :'(
