Your abdominal cavity is like a cradle of muscle that prevents all the loose organs from falling into your sub-dermal layers below. An appendix, when infected will cause instant and constant pain. I mean constant. The abdomen will also become ridged. The pain occurring when laughing/coughing/sneezing says to me that something is wrong with this cradle of muscle that contains the intestines. When this hammock of tissue is torn or defective it makes sense that diaphragmatic movement (laughing/coughing) stimulates this pain. This is called a hernia. In men, a sever hernia can actually spill intestines into the scrotum making them HUGE and demanding immediate med attention. Women do not have this problem obviously, making a sever hernia harder to determine. I suggest medical attention with an emphasis on your symptoms.

I wouldn't worry about your appendix really. You don't mention nausea, vomiting or loss of appetite.
Those are the main symptoms along with abdominal pain, which will actually be hard to tell where the pain is.
Being 17 & female, see there it was important! It could be any number of problems associated with being female. If it continues to hurt, or has been hurting a while, I suggest you see a doctor and find out what it could be.
If nothing else it will be a relief just to find out it is nothing to serious. If there is a problem, the sooner it is treated, the better you will feel.
