ok im 14 years old and my back has been hurting. It is like everytime i bend over then stand up or if im sitting without my back up-against something, or if i am hunched over for a long time...
Is this normal? Is it just growing pains?
Or what else could it be? Should i go to the doctor???
thanks for the help!

I'd say you probably should go to the doctor to see what's wrong.
I think your posture could use improvement. Sitting up too straight and hunching over too far for too long can cause pain. Ideally you want to sit up straight, but not too straight, and also stretch and exercise regularly.
I'd also suggest researching and visiting a reliable chiropractor after you are properly diagnosed by the doctor.
God bless.

Unless you have been doing some sort of strenuous exercise involving your back, it is not common for a 14 year old to have back aches. One thing that can do this is rheumatoid arthritis. Check with your doctor.
