Hi Carisaa. First of all you are just 12 and your parents should have put up this query.
With the hope your parents read and monitor all these I am responding to you.
The most probable cause of pain in a child
-Tummy tonsils- meaning enlargement of the lymph nodes of the abdomen.
-Appendicitis- by default this has to be ruled out in every case of pain in -abdomen of a child.
-Worms.
The best diagnosis is a high resolution ultrasonography. some blood, urine and stool tests.
A therapeutic trial with a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotics under the guidance of a pediatrician / Surgeon always helps to solve the problem and to get a diagnosis.
Also given is a dose of medicines active against worms in intestine.

I hope a consultation with a Pediatric Surgeon, investigations and a course of an antibiotic and metronidazole should solve the problem.
If this is indicative of appendicitis , please go for the surgery of appendectomy.
