Damn!! At 14 I was smoking a lot of weed and playing in a rock band. You're going to go a lot farther doing what you're doing!

Be sure to get some proper training in programming techniques - data structures, object orientation, etc. The best thing you can possibly do to further your skills is to work on someone else's code. When I was learning to program, open source projects didn't exist. You have the benefit of being able to tap into a huge base of other people's source code.

Keep at it and don't take any smack from people about your age!
