I answered a question very similar to this a couple days ago, so I'm going to tell you exactly what I told her:

No.
Don't. Buy. Diet pills. EVER, no matter what age you are. They're extremely unsafe and unhealthy and they can make you jittery and screw up your emotions.
If you really want to lose weight, start eating a healthier diet, and work out. It's slow going, but it's much safer, and MUCH more permanent than the effects of pills.
Supplement pills and diet pills are very expensive - this is why it's better to do it the old fashioned way - hard work. =P

If you want details as to how to lose weight a HEALTHY way, feel free to drop one in my inbox...I know how you feel, but don't resort to what I did (the diet pills/fat burners). They make you feel horrible. Be kind to your body: fix your diet and start working out. If you're that desperate to lose weight, you NEED to try a workout regimen. If that's the only thing you're not doing, you've got nothing to lose by trying it.
Take my advice. I've been where you are.
Also, 121 might be a perfectly reasonable weight for you, depending on your height. Next time, please let us know how tall you are.
If you're between 5'2" and 5'4", 121 is a great weight.
Keep in mind that you're fourteen - you're still growing, and you can still lose weight easily. Your body is very impressionable.
Do you like biking? It's summer. Take bike rides around your neighborhood. Just being a little active helps kick your metabolism into gear and will help you lose weight.
Let me know if you want more exercise ideas, but I can almost guarantee that everyone here will tell you not to take diet pills, that exercise is the answer.
Good luck!

[Edit]: Thanks for adding your height. You don't need to lose weight at all. For every inch over 5' you add 5 pounds to find your ideal weight starting at 5'0" = 100 pounds. Based on that, you could actually be 4 pounds heavier and absolutely fine.

thanks so much :]

I'm a laid-back 26 year old with a Psychology BA, starting my MA program, and working my way into the field as quickly as I can. It took me an extra Bachelor's degree (in vocal performance and creative writing) to figure it out, but I was put on this Earth to help, to heal, and to love.

I have made the decision to dedicate my life and career to helping others. I am here to do just that.
