Bloody stool : This maybe caused by few different conditions .. At your age I highly suspect that hemorrhoids maybe the reason for them ... Some upper or lower gi bleeding meaning bleeding from the gi tract can cause this as well...

Get examined: most likely cause is hemorrhoids but must consult a doctor and get examined . usually blood is not mixed with stools if coming from hemorrhoids.
