Sometimes i get the impulse to twitch my neck or head. and when i do i feel as though something in the back of my head is cracking or or popping.?

Crepitus & creaking: Not everything that makes noise is significant. At your age i wouldn't worry about it unless you are having pain or persistent stiffness. Range of motion exercises might be helpful too.
