Blood: You may have a hemorrhoid condition or an anal fissure. Try using sitz baths and anti hemorrhoidal cream

Fissure: At 17 likely not serious. Do you have pain too? The most likely thins to cause this is an anal fissure. Usually this will cause sharp pain too. Hemorrhoids can also do this. Try increasing fiber in your diet. Although you are young, if the problem does not resolve it is worth having your doctor see.
