The sides of my tongue are almost always sore and i don't know why. it's been like that for a long long time. what could possibly be wrong?

Sore tongue: Your teeth might be rubbing against the sides of your tongue. Some people have unconscious habits such as tongue biting. Could be a host of other medical conditions such as oral thrush. See a dentist to see what's going on in your mouth.
