I would go to some decent undergraduate college. Get a degree in acting or, even better, general communications (you can always fall back on that). Then, go to a post-graduate program for comedy. I believe Humber in Canada has one. Anyways, you can find a few on the internet. But for now...you're 14! Relax, keep joking around with your friends, find the comedy in every situation you can and get the general experience of life.
