You'll find blood in your panties. It can be red or brown.
Sometimes there are clots and that's ok too.
You might want to see where it's coming from....if it's coming from the vagina then it's most likely your period. You can tell if you wipe it off and more comes out...Your period is going to last for a few days (3-7 days).
Can you talk to your mom about this? She should get you some pads...
Don't be scared, it happens to all girls.
Here's what the internet says;
North American women is around 12 or 13, though your first period can come anytime between 9 and 16, depending upon your height, weight, and cultural background.
Symptoms of Menarche
You will probably feel some moderate symptoms when you first get your period. You may notice that you feel bloated or uncomfortable – this is caused by water that your body retains during menstruation. Other signs of menarche include a slight headache, leg ache or backache for a few hours. The most common symptom of menarche, is cramping. You may feel abdominal cramping, similar to a stomachache for the first few days of your period. Try taking an over-the-counter pain medication, such as Advil or Tylenol, for the pain.
You may notice some emotional changes too before your period. You may feel tense, angry, or sad because of the hormones your body is releasing. Don’t get too discouraged. These symptoms won’t last long.
Good Luck!

The way u know you have ur period is by having a awful pain in your vagina and cant stop it, and you will start to bleed and the only way to stop it is to drink a pill. The ones i drink is pamprin and trust me it works.I started my period at the age of 8.

to make it simple,
you will see blood.
For your first time, its pretty surprising
After that, if you mark your calendar, you will be able to know. Not the exact date, but the week.
Also, you will get moody and tried and cranky.
You will also gain a few extra pounds and I dont know about other people, but my tummy swells a bit too.
And I feel full even though I didn't eat anything.
Another sign is acne. Some girls get acne a week or two before thier periods.
Your boobs will also get sore

With me-few hours before it actually comes my stomach starts to hurt and it gets bloated. Then, 95% of the time, I can feel when my first blood comes.
