Young flyer

I am going to be 18 when I plan to start my ATPL training, and not go to university. I will have done my A-levels with grades most liky to range from B-D. I did not study hard enough at college, but have been told I pick up flying very quickly when doing the very few flying lessons with the Air Training Core. I have also passed the RAF computor based pilot aptitude test.
I know that I will have to study like mad when doing my ATPL, and I will.

1) Do you think I am to young, and might I need to do extra courses like instructor rating?

2) Do you think not having a degree, and although having A-levels, not great qualifications will be a problem?

I know people ask these sorts of questions all the time, but I am desperate to fly.

Thank you TH.
