rectal bleeding in a young and otherwise healthy individual is usually caused by hemorrhoids, particularly if there was blood on the toilet paper.

If you've had blood mixed with the stool then it could be a different story though. Please clarify this issue. Also please inform me if you've had fever or any other symptom besides the aforementioned ones.
