I dont know the name exactly but i think i know what may be happening. You're building up stress and worry and its too much for you to handle right now. You may feel sick to your stomach because you failed those tests or because your friend cuts. Its ok to cry dont worry about that. And may be you passing out was because your emotions and body cant take it. I have a friend who got sooo angry he fainted...so may be ask your school nurse...or look it up on the internet...or just simply talk to your parents.
HOPE I HELPED!

A panic or anxiety attack, just as everyone else says. That happens occasionally to a lot of people. But if you have them frequently, you may want to talk to your doctor; s/he may refer you to a specialist. There are medications that can help with panic attacks.
But you might be able to cope with it yourself simply by practicing some relaxation techniques. These are *extremely* effective for most people. Here's what you do.
Start by breathing from your stomach-area rather than your chest. Of course you don't literally breathe from your stomach; the point is that your belly should expand and contract when you breathe. You may have to practice that a bit.
Take three deep, slow breaths. Each time, let the air come out of you naturally; don't force anything. After three breaths you'll already feel calmer and less stressed.
You can use the three relaxing breaths to calm down as often as you like during the day. The more you practice them, the better you'll get at using them.
The next step is something you might want to practice in bed, before you go to sleep. Do the three breaths. Imagine yourself in a perfect place: safe, beautiful, and peaceful.
Then tense the muscles of your feet. Hold the tension for three seconds or so, then let them totally relax. Feel the tension drain out of your feet as they go totally limp.
Then tense and relax your calves. After that, move upward through your body, tensing and relaxing each muscle group. Don't forget your chest, shoulders, face, and scalp.
When you're done, just lie there, staying relaxed and breathing slowly, imagining yourself in that perfect place. Think about the smell of that place, the feel of it, the feel of the air against you.
You'll probably fall asleep sometime around then. :D
Practice that every night. You can use the same techniques to calm down when you're faced with stressful situations during the day; that will be easier to do, the more you practice.
Good luck!

Welcome to the wonderful world of panic attacks. Some people only have one or two in thier whole lives, at times of extreem stress like the time you are having right now.
Calling it short circuiting is a good way to discribe it. What doctors actually believe happens is the brain's normal mechanism for reacting to a threat (the fight-or-flight response) is triggered and your body reacts physically, with nausea, dizziness or lightheadedness, increased heart rate, sweating and chills.
All and all, not pleasant. The good news is you might never experience one agian, but by all means research them and learning the coping and breathing skills that will help you. The counselors at school might be alot of help too, you'll be shocked just how many teens have experiences like yours these days.

But try to take things slowly and calm down and things should get better. hope i helpe :-)
