You may just have a varicocele,which is basically a varicose vein in your testicle.They're fairly common,but to make positive sure,you should bring it up to your parents,and your physician.I've posted a link so you can read about them.

Because testicular cancer is curable (stage I can have a success rate of >95%) when detected early, experts recommend regular monthly testicular self-examination after a hot shower or bath, when the scrotum is looser. Men should examine each testicle, feeling for pea-shaped lumps. Symptoms may include one or more of the following:
a lump in one testis or a hardening of one of the testicles
pain and tenderness in the testicles
build-up of fluid in the scrotum
a dull ache in the lower abdomen or groin
an increase, or significant decrease, in the size of one testis
blood in semen
Men should report any of these to a doctor as soon as possible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The presence and diagnosis of testicular cancer is ascertained by ultrasound (of the testicles), while the extent of the disease is evaluated by CT scans and X-rays, which are used to locate metastases. Blood tests are also used to identify and measure tumor markers that are specific to testicular cancer. A biopsy should not be performed, as it raises the risk of migrating cancer cells into the scrotum.

sounds pretty normal to me. It's often true too that one testicle will be larger than the other. If you haven't had a physical, you should have a physician check you out so there is a record of your baseline, then any future changes can be better assessed.

I'd tell your father. Sounds like you need to see a doctor asap!
