Hey Alan,
Moved from Columbia to Jersey huh? Talk about culture shock! Nothing wrong with getting an early start. Unfortunately you're a little young to run off and join the circus with ATP. However, there are a ton of local FBO's with flight schools all over New Jersey. You can get your student pilot certificate at 16 and your Private Pilot License at 17. Not sure what you or your family's financial situation is (unfortunately flying ain't cheap), but if you can swing it, you should go for a flight. Many schools offer Discovery Flights at a good price to get you hooked. Another alternative is the Civil Air Patrol. It's a great way to serve the community, looks great on a college application and you will get to do some flying. Check it out.
Anyway, pleasure chatting, anything else feel free and good luck.
Adam
