Hi. :)
Try and relax a bit here. It's very unlikely to be anything horrid. It could be alopecia (hair loss) which I believe can be treated. Sometimes hair just randomly falls out. Are you stressed at all? That's a possible cause. Also, be careful with how you style your hair. Do you backcomb it, colour it or use heat based stylers? All these could contribute to hair loss. Don't panic, if you lose anymore, go to the doctor and discuss it. You're 16 now, you don't have to avoid the doctors because your mum says so, it's your body. In the meantime, if it's noticeable, just style it so it isn't.
