It probably is postural hypotension, but you should see a doctor. I had it for maybe two or three years in my forties, caused by over-work, job-related stress, and poisoning by calcium-depleting gas inhalation. This gas--no use naming it--caused the very small amounts of calcium which is normally present in the blood plasma to be depleted. Result: weakness, anxiety, depression, low blood pressure. Problem was, in this neck of the woods, the doctors could not determine the cause or give me relief. Some actually congratulated me on having "excellent" blood pressure. Later, it was overcome by taking calcium and multi-vitamins, increased fluid intake, and reduction in stress.
Maybe, there is some fluid loss somewhere in your case. Maybe you are extra thin, and not eating healthy, balanced diet. Maybe there is an ear infection,affecting the fluid in ear cavities.
My suggestion is SEE A DOCTOR, eat good food rich in minerals and vitamins, STOP the fluid loss wherever it is in your body. The doctor will guide you properly..

It is called postural (or Orthostatic) hypotension-
"Postural hypotension: A drop in blood pressure (hypotension) due to a change in body position (posture) when a person moves to a more vertical position: from sitting to standing or from lying down to sitting or standing. Postural hypotension is more common in older people.
The change in position causes a temporary reduction in blood flow and therefore a shortage of oxygen to the brain. This leads to lightheadedness and, sometimes, a "black out" episode, a loss of consciousness.
Tilt-table testing can be used to confirm postural hypotension. Tilt-table testing involves placing the patient on a table with a foot-support. The table is tilted upward and blood pressure and pulse is measured while symptoms are recorded in various positions.
No treatment is needed for postural hypotension. If someone with postural hypotension faints, they will regain consciousness by simply sitting or lying down."

What causes this?
"What is Orthostatic Hypotension?
Orthostatic hypotension is a sudden fall in blood pressure that occurs when a person assumes a standing position. It may be caused by hypovolemia (a decreased amount of blood in the body), resulting from the excessive use of diuretics, vasodilators, or other types of drugs, dehydration, or prolonged bed rest. The disorder may be associated with Addison's disease, atherosclerosis (build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries), diabetes, and certain neurological disorders including Shy-Drager syndrome and other dysautonomias. Symptoms, which generally occur after sudden standing, include dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision, and syncope (temporary loss of consciousness).
Is there any treatment?
When orthostatic hypotension is caused by hypovolemia due to medications, the disorder may be reversed by adjusting the dosage or by discontinuing the medication. When the condition is caused by prolonged bed rest, improvement may occur by sitting up with increasing frequency each day. In some cases, physical counterpressure such as elastic hose or whole-body inflatable suits may be required. Dehydration is treated with salt and fluids."

It can be something as simple as not drinking enough water or a medicine you are taking, a symptom of diabetes (at your age), or other problems.
Drink plenty of water, lower your head (bend over at the waist so your head is below your heart) or sit down when it happens, and let your parents know so you can be examined by a physician.

That is a symptom of low blood pressure. Try taking a multiple vitamin every day to get your vitamin & mineral levels in better shape.

This can be from an ear infection, a blood pressure issue, or anemia. Let your parent(s) know and see your doctor.
