No need to worry: you are young (assuming no medical issues) minimal blood with stool (especially after hard stool) could happen. unless it happens more frequently there is no need to worry about it

Not at this point: Could be many things. With hard stool it could have scratched the mucosa. Hemorrhoids are another possibility. Irritation from spicy foods or from straining could also cause it. If it persists you should see your doctor for an examination
