Try and stay calm. Everyone gets headaches, and most of them are not anything to worry about. Here's how you decide if yours is:
1) do you have a fever AND do you have a stiff neck?
2) are you having trouble seeing?
3) is your speech slurred?
4) are you having any trouble moving any of your arms or legs?
5) Did you have a serious head injury (car accident, bad fall, got hit in the head) before you started getting the headaches?
6) Have you had a seizure?
If the answer is yes to any of these, your headache is serious and you should see a doctor right away.

If the answer is no, you have a bad headache that should be checked out, but it's very unlikely that it's something awful.

Make an appointment to be seen.
Some of the possibilities for what it might be are on the website I put below.

At your age, I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's stress-related :-)
