Doesn't your school have weight equipment? My lil' Bro is your age, and he lifts in his PE class. In my experience, schools are actually very good at lifting programs that are both effective and safe for the developing body.

You have to start eating a decent amount of food. It should be healthy but do include some meat in your diet. While eating right train and exercise hard. You will get in good shape.
