First and foremost. See your doctor to make sure you are okay.

This can occur from tears in your colon.

Are you experiencing the blood in your bowl movement or when you wipe?

First of all you need to calm down, having blood in your stool doesnt mean you have colon cancer, maybe you were straining a little you may even have a hemoroid and not know it, you should let your parents know, and if it continues, go see a doctor, im sure you will be just fine.

I had and have the same problem.
If it's when you wipe yes, could be hemeroids or a tear in your colon. It's when it's in your poop that it's dangerous. Like if you see blood in your stool or its black with blood.

I would say, wait a week and see if its improved. If not, see a doctor.

If it's an on-going thing, I would see the doctor to make sure it's nothing serious.

A hemoroid is a piece of skin that can either hang out side of your rectum that is filled with blood, they can also be inside your rectum which you wont see, but anyway if your pushing while your going to the bathroom, you can irritate them which will cause them to bleed, coughing, picking up heavy items will also cause you to have hemoroids, sometimes they are painfull, or itch , nothing to be alarmed about unless they become really bothersome, or become extremely enlarged,

Please See a Doctor

Scarlett, even though things seem to be ok, please tell your mom about what happened. Then make sure you see a doctor.

I am sure you realize that bleeding from your anus is never normal. It can be temporary like a hemorrhoid that gets irritated or similar. But if the bleeding goes away, that does not mean the problem is gone.

Always tell your mom or a doctor about anything that concerns you. There is no reason not to.
