Small Streak of Blood in Stool?

Hi everyone. I'm 15 yrs old (I know I'm still young to be worrying about my health like this) and I just saw a verrryy small streak of bright red blood (or I thought it was blood) in my stool. I also just had some tomatoes, but that was just an hour or so ago. Could this just be some sort of thing from the tomato, or is it serious? Pleasseeee....I'm really worried.

Won't be a problem at your age, colon cancer etc occurs in people over 30. Go to the docs, you probably have hemorhoids (sp) or an anal fisure.

I should also mention that I had the same thing around 3 in the afternoon. It was like stuffed with tomatoes. It was like soup(also tomato) and rice. Could this be the problem?
