Suggest Treatment For Blood In Stool

Hi, I'm a 14 year old girl who's slighlty overweight and when i go to the toilet to do number 2's i noticed that there was a lot of blood. It doesn't hurt and there is no strain in the toilet and i don't have the need to go to the toilet a lot. The blood is red, it isn't really bright nor is it really dark. This started about two days ago. I haven't gone to the doctors nor have i told my parents. What do you think it's most likely to be? And should i be trying to change my diet, eat more water and fibre and exercise more? Should i tell my parents and go see a doctor? And should i be very worried about it?

Sitz bath ( sitting in a tub filled with lukewarm water 5 minutes each 3 times a day and additionally after passing stools ) helps .
