Is it normal,

Although it could very well be blood sugar problems (diabetes) it may actually be low iron levels, since you are female. When I was younger and started having my periods, I had the EXACT same problem.
So, before you start self-diagnosing, you need to see your doctor about the problem. It is not safe to continue your daily life like this. It is not normal for any human being to be experiencing this.
If it turns out to be low iron levels then you might want to start taking a daily multivitamin with iron in it. If that still isn't enough (and the doctor confirm your iron levels are still low) you may want to take an addition iron supplement. I use Feosol, a brand of iron I found in Wal-Mart that has a special coating on it to avoid upset stomach.
So, before you do anything you should see your doctor about this problem. Immediately, if at all possible. Secondly, you should pick up some multivitamins--simply because you're a growing girl and need them no matter if you're feeling ill or not. From what your doctor then tells you, you will know what to do to improve your health from there.
Just, please, do not assume it must be XYZ simply because we said so. See your doctor about the problem so they can run some tests and make sure everything is safe.
If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me! :)

Your blood sugar is too low. This happens to a lot of people so no worries, you just need to get your blood sugar a little higher :)

I don't know that I would call it "normal", but it isn't uncommon. You should tell your doctor about it, but it probably isn't a major emergency.
Most of the time when you sit around your blood pressure lowers. Standing back up, especially suddenly, your BP goes back up and it can cause a feeling of being lightheaded and even a feeling you're about to faint. Its actually a lot more common in older people, so it is worth mentioning to your doctor.
Migraines can cause it too. So can any kind of inner ear problem. So while it is common, do mention it to your doctor so they know it is something you are feeling. Most likely you will just be told to get up slower and don't just jump right up fast.
Happens to me often too. :)
