good for u, u sound like a most suitable candidate. take ur teachers advice and use all available resources to make ur decision(good crew resource management!) - yourself, your parents, can i also suggest going to a flight school open day OAT at oxford run them regularly and they will be able to give u good advice. and go and do a trial lesson at some point - get 1 for xmas - make sure u like it and will be great experience! good luck for the future.
