It's impossible to diagnose something like this from afar. At 15, your chance of having breast cancer is less than 1 in 1 million. However, a bleeding nipple is something you need to take seriously, as it could be an infection of some kind. First, if you're squeezing it - STOP. Next, go to a walk-in clinic; your school nurse; or your family doctor. Only a professional can diagnose and treat this. Best of luck - PJH
