To anyone experiencing this: don't worry, this is normal and ok! This is probably your first period. Because your body is still adjusting itself for puberty, periods can vary a lot and having very light periods (that look like brownish discharge) at first is very common. This happened to me a while ago and I freaked out as well but turned out I was fine. Just make sure to tell to your mother/trusted female relative about this because it's nothing to be ashamed or scared to talk about; (nearly) all women go through this natural process. Hope this helps! : )
P.S. Cramps are very common and backache/headaches are also normal.

That helps a lot, thanks! One question though: Are you sure? I'm 13 now and I've had normal discharge for a while, but for a few days I've been having blackish-brown discharge. You said this is normal? I'm sorry, I'm just really scared because I've looked it up and in some places it says it could be an infection or disease.

Actually most periods aren't red, but if they are brown it's just ok don't blood.. discharge is usually clear or white but as the time gets closer to your first period it will be brown, usually if it is brown it is your period.
