Anal Fissure: You have a common problem, a minor tear in the lining on entrance to your rectum. If you have no pain and the bleeding subsides on it's own there is little left to do. If you have pain and the bleeding persists with other bowel movements you should go see your doctor.

See Dr.: Pooping blood is never normal.. Make sure it wasn't vaginal from a period. If you're sure it was from the anus, then let your parents know and you need to see the Dr. May be a hemorrhoid which is common, or could be something internally that needs evaluation. Get to the Dr. as soon as possible. best wishes.

Constipation?: Are you bleeding vaginally? If not, constipation can stretch the rectal tissue causing bleeding. This should resolve on its own. Increase fiber in the diet.
