I am a 14 year old female that always lightheaded, tired and has headaches. I have been known to black out many times and was wandering what anyone thought it might be.

That might be due to a low blood pressure. You should check with your family doctor though, as those symptoms together aren't good.

Hello,
as Jenko27 said, when you have low blood pressure you usually feel lightheaded and dizzy. Women suffer from low blood pressure more than men, but this is something that is not life threatening. You will need to talk to your doctor about the symptoms you are experiencing, but he will probably tell you just to eat better and to ad to your diet food and vitamins that will help you to deal with this problem easier.
Other thing that causes headaches, tiredness and weakness in girls your age is anemia caused by iron deficiency. This is very easily treatable with iron supplement your doctor will prescribe you. But, the obvious first step is to see a doctor, you can hurt your self if you are blacking out this often.
