You are starting too early!

I am very sorry, but I have some bad news for you. I'm sure that you are like most other 14 year olds - bright, keen and quick to learn. And this is your problem, you'll have a PPL hacked in a few weeks but will have years to wait before you can actually use it. If your parents have the cash, do a bit every now and again, just for the hell of it. Do aeros, low level map reading excursions but don't train for what you won't be able to enjoy for a years. Personally, I'd wait until you were 16yrs, 11months and then go for it - or start gliding earlier if the goons at EASA will allows solo flight at a younger age.
