I was 12 and I remember for a few days my underwear kept getting stained by a brownish color and I felt gross because I thought I wasn't "wiping" properly. I also remember my stomach hurt as if I had really bad gas so I assumed I had diarrhea lol.
I ended up asking my Mom if a period starts out brown and I think knowing that before then would've been helpful.
