I stretched alot yesterday in P.E. class, but I always normally stretch. Now for some reason, the back of my legs hurt ALOT. I can't even reach to my ankles when trying to touch my toes! What's happening, and how can I get my legs to feel better?

You could have just overstretched your muscles,but if you start getting Charlie horse like pains in the legs, you might be an early candidate for Deep Vein Thombosis. At your age though I'd just give the legs a rest for awhile and the pain will probably go away.

you should soak your legs in warm water with epson salt ( you could get it at any pharmacy or you may even have it) sometimes, streching is bad. If you strech alot you could pull a muscle rather than help with running. you may have hyper extended your quadricep, go to the doctor if it hurts for more than a week

Pulled muscle most likely. Give it time to rest. Usually about a week of not using it as much and it will heal.

Take a hot bath and rest tomorrow.
Stretch GENTLY.
The pain should go away.

maybe you pulled your hamstrings? hot shower, epsom salts, all that jazz.
