Talk to your doctor : It is unusual for some one your age to have neck stiffness for whole month even if you are stressed out it is possible to get stress related neck stiffness but it generally resolves you have to make sure there are no structural causes of neck problem before attributing it to stress talk to your pediatrician or primary care doctor he may refer you to pediatric orthopedic surgeon good luck.

X-ray normal?: I assume x-ray normal at ur age. Did the doc that ordered not rec. Treatment? Many times neck stiffness in young people is postural. It can be aggravated by a heavy backpack/laptop case and by sitting in the slumped shoulders forward/neck flexed position in school or at a desk/computer. Pt should help significantly, even accupuncture, e-stim, massage; but; controlling the stress is the real key.
