Is it normal for your leg to cramp up during the day?

Q: im 13 and my leg cramps up alot. Every time i sit down for a while and get up, my legs cramp up and tingle to the point where i have to fall down. It happens at least once a day and it feels like my leg just gives out. It only lasts for a few seconds but i cant deal with it in school. Is this a problem? should i see a doctor?
