Sometimes i will comment a funny video on the internet, get distracted and i guess rewatch the video, or maybe i dont, but i will comment AGAIN without realizing i commented it 2 minutes ago.. i will have no memory of commenting it the first time and its a little freaky..
another example
i will text someone 'hey'
and they will text me back 'hey'
and i will text them again 'hey'
only to later find out, i started the conversation.. and i never remember texting them at all. i totally have no clue it has happened
im only 15 so its not coming with old age ;)
but what is this? is this short term memory loss?

What you describe is definitely short-term memory loss. It could be simple forgetfulness, but given the examples you described, it might be a symptom of something else (physical or psychological). In any case, I don't think it's an emergency, but I recommend mentioning it to your doctor, who is best qualified to assess what's going on with you, next time you see him or her. :) If it becomes really problematic, you might consider making an appointment specifically to discuss this issue.
You didn't mention insomnia, but make sure you're getting enough sleep-- chronic sleepiness can cause memory lapses such as the ones you describe. :)

you might be overtired or ADHD.
ADHD isn't necessarily for out of control 6 year old boys, i'm a freshman chick and i have it. just realized this year.
see your doctor about it, and don't worry. you're not losing your mind. it might just pass, but if it doesn't, see a doctor about it.

It could from puberty. If it is, it will straighten out and get better in time.
