I'm 10 years old and I have been getting dri light brown stuff in my underwear for about a month but I didn't get it today?Am I close to my period?

You may be cloes to your peirod. I would talk to your mom and ask her for pads just to be safe. You ccould put pantie liners in too. And if you don't want to carry around a purse (if you don't already) just smaller ones for your pocket.

Have a talk with your mom, let her know what's going on with you health wise.
