So I haven't had my period yet (I'm 13) and I'm supposed to start in 3 years... I'm guessing this has something to do with my period? Last night, I saw brown in my underwear (Like brown discharge), but I just went to the bathroom and my urine was brown...
I researched and found that it could be from dehydration or drug abuse. I don't do drugs, so do you think it's dehydration? I haven't been drinking a lot of water lately but I am now.

The pee hole is very close to your vagina so what comes out of there can mix easily with your pee.
If however, you continue to notice its definitely brown urine, not brown discharge from the vagina, it might be good to go see the doctor and give a urine sample so they can discover whats up with you
You may get your period earlier than you think. I don't understand why you believe 16 is the magic age when menstruation starts.Some girls have reported starting at age ten. A few will start later like 16 17 but the majority of girls today are getting their periods at 13 and 14 so you are right on time.
This brown discharge may signal that you are about to start your period. The brown discharge can last a couple days or go one for a week or two. Its more sticky than runny. Its old blood. Ever get a blood stain on something, think of even a bandaid you pulled off a scrape once healed up. What little blood was seen on the bandaid wasn't bright red of a fresh flow of blood, it was the brown of old dried up blood.
Brown discharge usually is nothing to worry about. It is part of the monthly cycle for women. It won't happen every month, just sometimes when the flow is delayed by illness or stress and it wants to start but cant yet so little dribbles come out slowly
Many times throughout my life, I got the brown discharge before my period especially when period was late. There was never any pain, a normal period and I went on to give birth to 3 kids. There's nothing wrong to worry about regarding your female genitals. You might want to have panty liners and a pad with you at all times cus you never know when it'll start.

But when i started my period i had brown discharge and when you pee its these brown stringy things too(i know gross) and that kept going on until finally i started! Maybe you should ask your mom or someone about it?
