Yes it's your period most likely. I remember when I first started, the brown stuff got in my undies and I thought I pooped myself.
It probably won't be long and it probably won't be regular to start. Never is. Just start packing pads or pantyliners with you incase it pops up on you. And when your ready and the flow is heavy enough try tampons, they are so much more comfortable.

Sounds like you're getting it. My suggestion would be to get some panty liners (carefree makes some nice ones that are individually wrapped so you can keep them in your purse or backpack). Keep a pad or two on you when you're out of the house as well, just in case. When the period finally really comes (where there is much more flow), the pantyliner should be able to hold what comes out until you realize what's happened and are able to put on the pad.
You could also try tampons, but you might want to wait until you're at home so you can experiment with them. Pads are easier, but tampons are cleaner. Just make sure that if you use tampons that you don't leave them in for too long -- MAX 8 hours.

yep, put a pad in your panties, what will happen is you will bleed for a few days, welcome to womanhood, your first period may only be this brownish red and it just might be a few spots, but eventually it will be more, your health classes surely discussed this.

Sounds like you are getting it. Stock up on pads and you will be fine.

It could be old blood and your body is cleaning itself out. Nothing to worry about.
