When you start your period, it is red like blood, because that's exactly what it is, blood. The reason why we have periods and it is blood is so that we can clean ourselves out once a month. When it stains, it is a brownish color. That's what all blood stains do. What I would do if I were you is just go to your mother or someone in your family that is a female and tell them what is going on. After that they should take you to get some pads or tampons(they should tell you how to put them in if they let you use them) so that you can protcet yourself from getting any blood stains on yours clothes, and also from embarrassing stains that can come onto your clothes if bleed bad enough. I hope that helped.
