Answers:

You at risk for anemia, among other things. EAT!!! Do you do sports? High School is enough stress, without not eating,lol.
These are your growth years, honey! You need to eat, if not MEAT, then some other forms of protein for a healthy, varied vegetarian diet which include: A healthy, varied vegetarian diet including fruits, vegetables, plenty of leafy greens, whole grain products, nuts, seeds and legumes. Some vegetarians also choose to eat dairy products and/or eggs.
Teenage vegetarians have nutritional needs that are the same as any other teenager. The years between 13 and 19 are times of especially rapid growth and change. Nutritional needs are high during these years. The nutrients you will probably be asked about the most are protein, calcium, iron, and vitamin B12.
North American vegetarian teens eating varied diets rarely have any difficulty getting enough protein as long as their diet contains enough energy (calories) to support growth. Cow's milk and lowfat cheese are protein sources; however, beans, breads, cereals, nuts, peanut butter, tofu, and soy milk are also some foods that are especially good sources of protein. Only fruits, fats, and alcohol do not provide much protein, and so a diet based only on these foods would have a good chance of being too low in protein.

First of all, you should probably try going to bed a little earlier. Most people need more sleep than what you are getting. Secondly, your diet puts you at risk for anemia--and one of the biggest symptoms of that is fatigue/lack of energy. Try improving your diet, and sleeping a little more and I bet you will feel better!
