As recommended previously, talk everything you have discussed here over with your parents. They are who will get you into see a doctor. Its extremely rare for a 16 year old to have oral cancer. Lets hope this is nothing serious. Until you know for certain, stay very busy doing positive things, it will help pass the time.
