Sometimes when I go away from home, like to somewhere 1-2 hours away i start to feel awkward. I have a hard time breathing and just get scared not knowing what is happening. It's like its hard for me to breath. I am 14 years old. What is it?

No one can diagnose you for sure except a doctor but is it possible that you are having anxiety/panic attacks. If you are having them only when you go away from home, it sounds like you need to get this treated asap. Untreated, it is possible that this could become agoraphobia...a fear of ever leaving the house. I'm sure you've heard of people who have spent their entire lifetime in one house or one room afraid of ever leaving. You are young and this would not be something you should have to face...especially since it is treatable.
Please see a psychiatrist or psychologist for some counseling and to get to the root of what is causing your problems. You need to find out for sure your diagnosis so you can be treated.
