It's just...pinkish... It doesn't hurt, and it doesn't have stringy stuff in it or anything.. And don't say STD cause I'm only in middle school and NOT sexually active. My back where my kidneys are doesn't really hurt either.. but my back feels weird if I think about this problem.. (I'm a very paranoid person.)
It's really freaking me out cause I don't wanna go to the doctor. (I'm absolutely TERRIFIED of them)
I'm close to my period but it's not period blood, and the toilet paper is not pink when I wipe..
It wasn't pink one time today but it was the other 2 times..
Could it possibly be something I'm eating/drinking? I'm not on any medications.
Please help me. =( It's scaring me really bad. It only started happening today.

This sounds like you have something call painless hematuria (doctor word for blood in urine).
There are multiple reasons for this.
The number one cause of painless hematuria in women is urinary tract infections. If you go to your doctor, the1st thing that will be checked is your urine. So you will pee in cup. That will be checked for infection or blood in your urine. Thus treated appropriately.
Other causes are a little too scary to tell you at this junction, but they tend to happen in old people.
However, your pink peeing last for more than a week or becomes darker that is a time to see a doctor immediately.

First: see a doctor.
Second: There is one other possibility that is actually from food. Have you eaten any beets in the last twenty-four hours. Some people don't have the enzyme that breaks down the coloring in beets and it comes out in the urine. I remember once standing at a urinal next to a friend of mine when we were fourteen and he was peeing red. It freaked me out, but he knew what the cause was -- beets.
Third - see a doctor, because if it ISN'T beets, then you could have a bladder infection or other problem that needs some pretty fast care.

I really dont think you are going to be able to get the answer you would like on here. The only way to find out whats really wrong is to go to the doctor. Nothing big to worry about all they will do is a urine test make you pee in a cup to start out with.

Pink is an unusual color for urine, it should not be that affected by what you drink. It could be light amounts of blood. If you are afraid of the doctor now, imagine how hard it will be if something progresses.

You need to put your fear aside and see a doctor. You may have a bladder infection. Bladder infections can quickly progress to the point of becoming seriously ill, landing you in the hospital if it reaches your kidneys.
aside from that, it could be diet related, but that is a chance you can't take.

Your urine could be possibly tinted with blood. The only way you'll find out exactly what it is, is if you go to the doctor. They aren't scary, they just wanna try and help fix you =)

Two things it could be...
1) If you take certain vitamin tablets, took ANY kind of medication it could be....
2) Infection
3) Go and see a bloody doctor cos YA is not going to turn your pee back to normal!

it could be something you're eating or that you're not hydrated enough. Try drinking about 2 large glasses of water and wait to see if it is still pink. If it is you prob need to see a doctor.
