hi jian
hypertension at this age needs thorough clinical and lab evaluation for coarctation of aorta( if it is elevated only in one arm), renal vessel thrombosis, hormonal disturbances etc..
better meet your doctor and in the meantime reduce your salt intake less than 6 gm per day, reduce saturated fat intake, high dietary fibre etc..
you can know more in JNC 7 guideline ( jump to heading essential hypertension)....
best wishes

Lots of salt and sodium can make your blood pressure higher. But I suggest if this is a lasting problem, you go see your doctor or health department. I am 22 and on blood pressure medication. It's inexpensive and a once a day pill. So lay off the salt and high sodium foods, but if it persists I suggest a health care professional.
