Maybe give some free advice about: Music?
always go for your dream. because otherwise you'll never know.
i've been playing music for about 10 years now, and i'm not much older than you. although i could get a regular job doing something normal after i go to college, i would love to become a professional musician. and you have to understand that the music industry is incredibly harsh. there are many more musicians who have tried and failed than those who have tried and made it.
but i know that if it's something that i really want, and if it's something that i really love to do, then i have no worries. and the same goes for you, in whatever you choose to do. in fact, i don't plan to major in music in college. i plan to major in something normal to fall back on, but i will probably attend a college in the "music capital of the world"... so you can guess what i will be concentrating on.
my point is that, no matter how cliche this sounds, in whatever you do... as long as you know that you can do it, and you know that you want it, you will be able to accomplish it. i'm not sure if you are religious or whatever (i'm not too terribly), but my opinion is that god gave me this gift so that i could share it with others. god gave you a gift so that you could share it with others. it would be a waste of his gift to just lay low if this is your calling.
also, it is much easier for me to perform in front of many people than in front of a couple of people. i don't know how to explain it. the best place to start is if your school has a talent show or something. that will really help you. it's a little bit curious, but when you are in a darkened auditorium on a stage, and you are standing in the spotlight, you can't see anything but the stage you are standing on. you can't see the audience whatsoever. that's partly why it's easier for me to perform in front of a lot of people.
another thing: people really get into your performance if they can tell that you are having the time of your life. so you have to make that come true. i'm a pianist, so you can imagine that i am critical of other pianists when they perform. you have to always be true to yourself when you play music because music is something that everybody can understand. and i can tell when somebody isn't fully enjoying what they're doing. most of my friends are musicians also. most of them play piano, too, as well as other instruments. so when we all gather at somebody's house, i sit down at the piano and play through like disney songbooks and everybody sings. that's the most fun you can have: sharing music with other people. and that's kind of what i try to embody when i perform: that same feeling that i get when i play music with my closest friends, or the feeling that i get when my favorite song comes on the radio. i fully believe in the expression that nobody can make you happy until you make yourself happy, and only then can you make others happy. before you decide to do this, you need to sit down and make sure it's the right decision for you. and then you can share it with others.
well, i hope this helped :)
