If you have had diarrhea followed by constipation you may have a fissure in the anus. This should heal naturally. Eat more fiber. If you have soreness, use a cream like Vaseline Intensive Care when wiping after a BM.
Hemorrhoids and polyps are uncommon at your age.
It is important to watch carefully. If bloody stools continue, you need to see your doctor.

No its not normal but dont panic too much.
Firstly, how much blood? If its a lot go tell your mum/dad & go to the hopsital
Secondly, if you've had a stomach virus you will have been going the loo a lot?! You may have piles (or hemorroids in the US) Feel around the edge of you bum hole. If its lumpy it may be that that is bleeding.
If its a bit of blood, make an appointment at the GP/docs & keep a close eye on it.

No it is not normal but try not to stress too much. Someone needs to get you to the doctor straight away. If you have had a stomach virus it could be that your bowel is very irritated, but anyway get it checked out.

Yes, you should absolutely tell your parents and go to a doc. You could have something more serious like e coli or salmonella. You didn't mention if it was a little bit or alot - or if it was red or dark. It could be something as simple as a fissure - or a small split - in your colon, but you need a doc to tell you for sure.

No this is not nomal. Sounds like you have more than just the stomach flu. Call the docs office and talk to your docs nurse to see what they recommend you do.

If you're just getting over a virus, it may be nothing. But this one, we don't take chances on. Have your parents get you to a doctor *NOW*. I'm not kidding.
