Q: Young, Blood In Stool. What Could It Be?

It's not a lot at all, but noticeable and only after i've just wiped I can see it- it's like bright red blood. I'm 17... Is this seriously bad news?
One last thing is that, not recently, but I used to do quite a lot of ecstasy tablets... But i'm sure thats not it.
Please get back to me; I don't feel ill, but it's still worrying.
Thankyou.

You are not giving a lot of specifics. Are you pregnant? If your pregnancy is even moderately advanced, it could be hemorrhoids, which is relatively common and not dangerous. And bright red blood is from skin bleedings, not from gi tract bleeding, which again is consistent with hemorrhoids.
