It's normal to lose some amount of hair every day but you say your hair is thinner now!. Have you been eating well!? I'd get to the doc for a blood test and a check-up!.
Hair loss can be caused by lots of things- hormones and the onset of puberty, thyroid problems, nutritional deficiencies, or stress!. It's best to rule out anything serious then go from there!.
I had a condition called alopecia when I was your age that made me lose my hair!. Taking zinc and vitamin E supplements helped my hair grow in again!.
