Do I have my period?
So I woke up and my thighs had blood on them. I went to the bathroom and wiped my vagina and there was blood on it, it wasn't dark red just a normal orangeish color with some little red. This happened when I wiped between the slit. Then when I wiped my clitoris it was also bloody. I peed a little blood. In my panties from the morning there was a patch if blood near the side and a spot near the very top. I showered and now (about 1.5 hours later)I checked and my panties are pretty bloody near the top (much more than in the morning) where the clitoris would be but in between my slit is bleeding. I have never had my period before so I am extremely scared I don't know what is wrong with me? I'm not even a teen and I am so so so so scared I need help somebody please help me.

p.s. -- A friend of mine began her periods when she was 8. Don't worry, you're normal.

Try not to worry, sweetheart. Just tell your mom that you need some "female supplies," and she will know what to get for you and won't be odd about it.
Yes it sounds like you started your period. If you have females who have periods in your home, check the bathroom for pads. If not you can layer toilet paper in your under wear to catch the blood. You will need to get pads though as toilet paper wont hold very much blood and you will have to change it quit often. You could also fold a wash rag up and lay in your underwear if nothing else.

I am scared very very scared because I don't know if you are supposed pee blood because little tiny droplets, not a lot keep falling of blood, and I don't know where the period comes from, but how is it getting on my clitoris
Generally the blood will come up your vagina and out the top where the clitoris is because, your labia stay shut most of the time. When you peed, menstrual blood was probably getting mixed in with your urine. Your period blood will come from the opening between your labia (the hole in the middle of your vaginal lips). It does not come out of your clitoris or pee hole. No need to be scared. I know its new to you but this is all normal. Do you have a parent you can tell? You will need pads.
