Diarrhea lasting a week long? Doctor?

I'm a 16 year old female with diarrhea lasting over a week long now. Is this something I should go to a doctor about? What are some possible diagnoses? Any questions feel free to ask. Thanks(:

If you're having diarrhea for over a week you should see a doctor! make sure you drink plenty of water so you don't dehydrate. Are you on any medications?
