You would be best to speak with your folks and then visit your pediatrician.  If this has just started, there is a good chance it will spontaneously resolve by itself.  But if it persists for 2-3 years or more, it may be permanent and then surgery might be indicated.

As a minor the first thing you need to understand is that any decision needs to go through your parents. Have a good talk with your folks.
