I had the same problem. I have low blood pressure and, at a certain point in my life, I was fainting regularly. You need to get this checked out, because it could be something serious, but it's most likely a low blood pressure issue. As i got older, it sort of balanced out and now, if i stand up suddenly, I get the slightest hint of blacking out and nothing more. Drink lots of water and have a high salt diet...but get it checked out first.

You need to go to your doctor for this ASAP! It could be a variety of things such as low blood sugar, low blood pressure, etc... This problem is obviously not going away and you could probably prevent them by finding out the cause! There's a lot of questions they will probably ask you such as: Family History of Diabetes? Can you tell that you are going to faint before you actually do? Do you faint at the same time of the day or at different times? Try to think ahead about what is going on when you faint and that will help your doctor to identify what's causing your problem! Good luck!

Have you ever been to the doctor to address this issue?
It is odd that you have been sent home several times by the school and they haven't recommended that your parents take you to the doctor. Do you already know of a condition? I can't understand there can be many serious and less serious issues that could be causing. I would definately have some blood work done immediatly so that you can recieve the proper treatment for this issue. If your faiting that is your bodys warning telling you something is not right. Follow your bodys warnings. I hope that nothing is wrong.

Go to the doctor, simple blood work can determine your problem. Might be anemia.
