well for a girl of your age, it's unlikely that you have colon cancer. because your uncle had colon cancer, it is important that you start getting regular screenings in your early 30's. the type of colon cancer that affects people at a young age runs strongly in families, which would mean your parents, siblings, aunts/uncles would have all had colon cancer at a young age. since this is probably not the case, it is more likely that you have another milder GI disturbance.
many people don't go to the doctor because they fear that the doctor will "give" them a terrible diagnosis. just remember that the doctor can't give you anything....all they do is make you aware of what you already have. the tests won't be painful. so please see a doctor because chronic blood loss is extremely dangerous

You need to tell your mom. With the family history it is necessary to see the doctor a soon as possible. Mom will probably yell at you for not telling her sooner. It may be something as simple a fissue or polyp in you lower colon. Do not be scared about the doctor physically hurting you , the only thing that will hurt is your pride, being so young you will be embarrased, but that will go away as you get older, believe me.

Suck it up and tell your Mom and go to the doctor.
Think about it this way: It's quite possible that you have a problem that isn't that bad, but the longer you wait, the worse it could be getting.
When you go to the doctor, let them know that you are afraid and don't want them to hurt you. If anything, since you're 14, you should probably just go to the pediatrician - they're normally more gentle about stuff.
Good luck and God bless - DON'T WAIT ANY LONGER :)

You need to tell your mother right away and the doctors won't hurt you.. they know that you are scared and they will be as gentle as possible.. go and talk to your mother right away and get this taken care of.. It may just be a bad case of hemmoroids.
so go get it checked so you can go to the bathroom with out pain..
and just because your uncle died from colon cancer don't mean anything.. you are very young and it is probably something that is simple to fix with medicine.
your mom won't let anyone hurt you go talk..
good luck

Well you should tell your mom so she can take you to the doctor. Most doctors are very understanding and gentle with their patients, so don;t be scared. They need to do some test so they can find out whats's wrong to make you better.

You should definitely tell your mom and see a doctor. You should've told your mom when you first noticed it. Doctors won't hurt you and you can have your mom stay in the room with you.

better go to the doctor NOW the longer you wait the more you will be hurt. this may be serious and if you don,t get a move on, bite the bullet and act a lot older than your tender years you may have serious trouble.. hope you are ok and good wishes

Ask your mom to get you a nice female doctor that wants to help people like my cousin Hazel.

blood is never a good thing there. tell your mom and tell her how long this has been going on. she'll make an apt. for you . You need to go see a doctor.
