I've answered this question before so here is the advice I've given to someone your age:
There is no way you are getting wrinkles at 15. Your skin is still producing collagen and elastin at a high rate. Elastin is what makes your skin bounce back into place every time you make a facial expression. Your skin goes through a process called cell renewal, which is basically your skin's natural way of exfoliating, and at 15, that process is still going strong. Signs of aging, especially around the eye is just not possible for a 15 year old. As you age collagen and elastin production reduces and cell renewal slows, and that is what causes wrinkles.
The lines you see are probably from a lack of hydration. You need to drink a lot of water and make sure your skin is hydrated if it's usually dry. And if you are really concerned about wrinkles make sure you stay out of the sun and don't smoke.
As for the dark circles, more water may help but overall there is nothing you can do to get rid of them. You can cover them up with concealer but you have to be willing to spend about $20 for it. Cheap makeup doesn't work.
