How do i know for sure i have paranoia? how do i know it's not a higher level of anxiety?

You can't know: because by definition paranoid delusions are real to you. The best thing you can do is share your thoughts with loved ones and have them take you to a professional for evaluation and care. That said, puberty is a time of high anxiety and paranoia can be normal for a 16 year old girl in the throes of social and personal stresses.
