Chest pain at such young age is generally due to myofascial pains  or costochondritis. But one should always rule out heart problems first. Get an ECG done first. If some heart problem is detected on ECG consult a physician. For other conditions take OTC antiinflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen for few days. Do deep breathing exercises. Consult a pain specialist for further treatment options like Intercostal nerve block.
