Armpit lump: At your age its probably a hair bump from shaving under there, but you can also get a enlarged lymph node for a variety of reasons. Most aren't things to worry about. Have your parent make an appointment for you with your doctor if its bothersome so they can examine it, but I wouldn't worry too much at this time.

Relax..: This could be something completely benign especially if it has been there for just a few days. Lumps in that area are most of the time a result of an infection or inflammation. It is very rare that is due to threatening issues. However, if it gets big, red and tender might need antibiotics so you would need to see your doctor if that is the case.
