It is extremely uncommon for 17 year olds to get Breast cancer. However, if the lump is a new development, you should see your doctor, but keep in mind that it is very unlikely to be breast cancer.

Yes, this is possible. Visit your primary care physician as soon as possible.

If this is more of a bump on the skin instead of a lump within the breast, it may be a cyst or an ingrown hair follicle. But it should probably be looked at by somebody who doesn't faint at the sight of blood.
