The brown spots were most likely your period, the brown color indicating old blood or blood that has been oxygenated. It is best for you to at least carry protection with you and wear a panty liner so you won't go through too many pairs of underpants.

There are some other possible explanations for this, but given your age, I'd say it is about 99% likely that you started.
You will need to start using feminine hygiene products. They aren't that big a deal...more of a necessary inconvenience than anything else. Start with pads if you find tampons intimidating.
First periods are often light and irregular. One thing you might want to start doing is keeping track of when you spot (or more) on a calendar. It's unlikely that you will start immediately into a pattern of regular periods, but even if you don't, a little advance warning from the calendar is a good thing.

Yes.. if you never had this happen before.. you most likley started menstration..
YOU will need to get some pads at the grocery store of drug store..
MOst girls dont use tampons at the beginning..
but you may mind that your flow may increase soon.. it does not have to be brown blood at first.. it can be red and or brown.
Unless you may have injured yourself..
Yes.. You are going to start or had the beginnings of it..
Go and get some pads.. and also.. take a shower a couple of times a day to freshen up..
Good luck..

poor thing...i'm sorry for you...yes it sure sounds like you started your monthly woman prison...you are at that age and unless you have suffered any trauma "down there" recently i bet that's what it is...use pads over tampons...i know most woman think it gross, but if don't have any female guidance there the first time you try to use a tampon you could hurt yourself...no joke...plus i think it is actually healthier to use pads over tampons...the blood needs to come out and not be jambed up by a plug...go to the store (i know it's terrifying) but it has to be done...start with panty liner and/or petite pads....good luck sweets

For you being 13 use pads if they are more comtable(sorry about spelling) talk to your gardianan of grandma and tell her this. you probally started. Good luck with talking.(it is hard some girls to talk but you will fell much better after it,.
