Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
I was first found positive on the protein test when I was 12. I'm 16, and in perfectly good health. AKA, you're not going to die. I am positive on that.
In fact, I don't think they really do much at all. The only thing I ever had to do was pee in the cup. I think they did take a sample of blood, but it was nothing major. Needles are nothing to be afraid of. Ask them to apply pressure around where it goes in, I find that helps with me.
All the thing that means with the kidneys is that your kidneys have difficulty seperating the proteins from the waste. Same here. I have it. And I have never had any dangerous kidney problems, growth problems, or other problems related to that.
Don't worry. It's a minor thing. The only time it ever worries anybody is every time that they take a urine sample at the doctor's. Then my doctor tells the nurses "He always does that." and they just get on with their business.
Hope I helped!

(PS: You know, thinking of it, it may have been when I was 10 when I was first diagnosed... It's come up positive at least 5 time, and I'm 16, and I think I skipped 2 years. So maybe even 9... I don't know, I was young.)

Don't worry. You're 13, that means your body is going through a lot of changes. It's true kidney problems can start early, but it is extremely rare. You have nothing to worry about. Keep strong and don't worry. I'm sure all will turn out fine.
