There is a condition known as alopecia nervosa which is simply hairloss that's caused by stress. You can talk to a dermatologist for help and you should also consider talking to parent or counselor to address the stress in your life.

it might be stress, but also might indicate a health problem. ask a school nurse, or see a doctor.

Yes, your hair will grow back, but you have to take care of yourself. I can't imagine what kind of stress you are under but it sounds intense. Try to get some help for that. Have you seen a doctor? Stress does much more damage than just to your hair. It can affect your health.

Yes, if it is indeed stress it will grow back. You just need to relax and try not to get worked up. Your hair will stop falling out when you become less stressed the hair loss is likely caused from the chemicals your brain releases into your system when you are stressed.

It is more likely that this is a health problem, not stess. Go see a doctor ASAP. Little things like hair loss can be a sign of a big problem.
