I've had feelable pea sized lymph nodes in my groin, neck, jaw and under my chin for 3 years now. they have never changed and i have no symtoms of lyphoma. would this be something to worry about or is it just due to me being very slim? i'm 17 also?

Almost everybody has some pea-sized lumps under the skin. It's nothing to worry about. Stop looking for them! (If someday you develop important lymph node enlargements, they will be far larger than pea-sized.)

If they are symmetric it is likely that they are normal. Best to confirm and for peace of mind would be during your annual exam with your pediatrician.
