I absolutely agree with Alison, you are a very normal 16 year old. Being horny does not make you a bad person, or not "normal". As a matter of fact, I'd be more concerned if you didn't have any of these feelings. There is a surge of hormones that are going on in your body right now that make you feel these intense feelings of being sexually aroused. It's all part of growing up-- we've all been there with you even if it's an unspoken topic.
The problem that arises at this age is not that you're horny, but how you deal with it. Many times teens are aware of the consequences of sex at this age (pregnancy, STD's, loss of family values, emotional consequences) but they have the "it won't happen to me" mentality. It's important to realize that sex comes with responsibility, it's not just the act of sex and that although babies are cute-- the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
