yes, even babies can get them if they are not cleaned properly. if you do/did not wipe the "correct way" or were in a pool/bath tub for too long, yes you can get them as well. drink cranberry juice, and see your doctor. that is about all you can do.

It is possible for anyone to get a UTI. Does it hurt to pee? Do you feel an urgency to go?

Yes, it is. You need to get that checked ASAP to make sure everything is okay.

yes.
go to the doctor if it keeps up.

Anyone at any age can get one.

anyone can.
i'm guessing it's because you hold your pee in instead of going to the bathroom when you need to...right?

Yes it is possible! My 2 year old daughter has gotten one and it is very important that you see a doctor soon! This is definitely a situation that you should talk to your parents/guardians about, or a school nurse if you need to.
At most drug stores you can buy a kit that has these test strips you pee on and they tell you if have a UTI (urinary tract infection). They are located in the section of the store with the feminine hygiene products usually around the douche. The brand I buy is called AZO , they have medications there too for an over the counter solution.
Although they do work, I would still see a doctor especially if you think this is your first UTI.
