Answers:

I had a similar problem when I was in middle school. It hurt no matter what I did. I went to the doctor and found out that my tailbone was not growing the correct way. Instead of curving inwards it curved outwards, like towards my back. The doctor told me to sit on a dough nut pillow whenever possible, like on hard chairs, and then use a heating pad for a little while in the evenings. The pain was gone soon afterwards, a few months. It hasn't hurt since.
