Here's my advice: STOP BEING SO GODDAMNED SERIOUS! You're 15. You will have your entire life to work. The whole point of being 15 is not having to worry about this kind of stuff. I'm not saying don't work hard, or don't be passionate. I'm saying if you think your future is defined by what you're doing at age 15, think again. Please, please, please, enjoy being young. I know it sucks sometimes. But don't wake up on your 40th birthday and realize you've spent your entire life working. No matter how hard you work, you will never get the chance to be 15 again.

That sounds nice, and I can't speak from a 40 year old perspective, but around 15 (I was 16) I started using my minimal programming knowledge to earn money and learned a lot about business. It happened because I moved to asia and couldn't play video games online and didn't know what to do with all this free time, I had internet but not fast enough to play games. I ended up stumbling on the world of domain buying/selling and have made a living off it for years because of the work and knowledge I acquired mostly early on back in high school. I am not saying don't have fun, but sometimes an early advantage like that opens more doors for the rest of your life and teaches you skills well beyond your age. In fact, I might argue I got to have more fun (living abroad, traveling, buying almost anything my consumerist heart desires) because I actually put in some work really young and it paid off handsomely.
