It's likely nothing serious, but it is best to have it checked by your physician.
Usually chest pain in adolescents is benign. Sharp, stabbing, knifelike left sided pain is usually musculoskeletal pain. If it lasts a long time or worries you, or if it is associated with exercise ,it should be evaluated by your primary care doctor or a cardiologist.
