If you are still in school, enroll in music theory right away. And take choir. It doesn't sound glamorous at all, but these courses will teach you music the right way, will help you find your range, and how to use your voice the right way, you can hurt your voice if you sing wrong too much.
In the meantime, get a piano, keyboard or a piano app on your phone and look up playing scales on youtube. Once you do that, try singing the scales while playing them. This will train your voice to match the pitch. Also sing with your headphones on you your favorite songs and record it with another device, you will quickly learn how easy people go off pitch.
My advice is, some people are lucky and they break in to music. It's like winning the lottery. I am a musician, and it's hard, but for me it's my art and I would have it no other way. Singing is a great dream, but it takes hours. Literally hours of hard dedicated work. You're lucky you are still young and in school, enrolling in a choir program, talking to your teacher about studying privately can earn you scholarships and other things. Once you are learned, it's really up to you what to decide.
