Okay, so period bleeding can definitely be light, more like spotting or dripping, especially when you're just starting out or at the very end of your period.
Your first periods are often pretty light, and they can be all over the place, like short or long, light or heavy. It's totally normal for it to not be a heavy flow, especially if this is one of your first times. Sometimes it can look brown or reddish too, and that's also normal. Your body is just figuring things out, so it won't always be a super steady flow like you might see in movies or something.
If you're noticing this, it's a good idea to wear a pad or period underwear just in case it gets heavier. That way, you're prepared and don't have to worry. If you're feeling worried or the dripping just won't stop for a long time, it's always a good idea to mention it to a trusted grown-up, like your mom or guardian, just so they know what's up.
