Colitis/hemorrhoid: Could be a form of chronic colitis or more benign condition like ibs with hemorrhoids. See your doctor if these symptoms persist.

Colitis: Blood and mucus in the stools at your age may indicate inflammation in the colon (large intestine) or a juvenile polyp (although you are a bit old for a juvenile polyp). I would strongly recommend that you see your doctor about this issue.
