I know that you may be scared but you
really should bring this to your parents
attention. It may be nothing. But it needs
to be looked at. If you ignore it, it
won't just go away.

It could be a lymph node which is swollen.
do you have any other swollen glands in
your neck or groin? Do you have any other
symptoms? 15 is pretty young to have
cancer, although it does happen. I would
discourage you from immediately jumping to
that conclusion. Show your mum and have
it checked if you are worried.

You should definitely go and talk to your
parents or doctor about this. This could
get worse if you don't bring this to
anyone's attention. Save yourself stress
down the road, and tell people about this.
