Well maybe a lil tall for a 14 year old, but hey we are who we get it from right? Anyways, stay on your routines and if you gotta eat, eat in smaller increments all day. Dont eat until you are full though, you'll end up gaining weight and you'll be confused more than ever. Your metabolism is gonna burn naturally but as you get older it will slow down. So adjustments will have to be made later on to your diet and excercise routines.. As for now, as long as you don't "overdo" the food, enjoy being young.

Ask your parents to keep the junk food at stores. Don't have them buy the junk foods. They're bad for you anyways and a waste of money. Ask your mom or dad to buy veggies and fruits and low fat yogurt and any healthy snacks you can munch on (like whole wheat crackers with low fat pb, low fat cottage cheese, etc)
When they bring the food from the store, wash/cut the veggies/fruits into bite size pieces and store them in plastic baggies--one serving per bag. Place them in the fridge on the shelf that is eye level to you. That way, you'll be more likely to grab the bag and walk away rather than finding that left over pizza from the dinner before. Do that with the crackers and such as well. The more prep you do when the food comes home, the less you'll do when you want to eat.
Also, when you're bored, try playing computer games (I know, not the best) or read or write, watch tv/movie, listen to music, talk with friends, make wood houses--whatever you find entertaining =)
