I have a lump behind my right ear, it's about the size of a penny I guess. When I touch it, it doesn't hurt. But it hurts if I press on it with pressure. It's hard but it's not as hard as a bone. I don't know how serious this is and I'm worried D: Does anyone know what this thing is?

It could be a sebaceous cyst, a pimple, virtually anything. Have you showed your parents?

No I have not. It's past 3am where I live so they're sleeping. I don't want to wake them up but I don't if this is life threatening :/

No hun, it's not life threatening. Most likely just a little cyst or pimple. Try getting a warm, almost hot, washcloth and leaving in on that area while you try to fall asleep.

It might be a swollen lymph node. Lymph nodes (filled with lymph) swell when fighting off infection, and behind the ear could be fighting off a cold, infected tooth, tonsils, mono - all sorts of things. It can wait until morning.
