Scoliosis: A forward head/neck posture in a 20 year old female is most likely compensation from scoliosis in the back (thoracic spine). The pain in your neck and shoulder could be from this as well. Discuss with your doctor. Referal to a specialist is advised if this is im fact the problem you have.

Kyphosis: Poor posture is possible, but underlying scheuermann's kyphosis is also an option. If you have a noticeable hump on your back, likely not postural. Kyphosis is an inherited disorder that results in pain that usually subsides after growth ceases. If persistent, occasionally surgical treatment is warranted. If this is more than a nag, i'd get some x-rays and have a spine specialist check.
