Maybe give some free advice about: Theater?
I think if the first place you went to for advice on such a serious topic was this website, you'll never make it as an actress. I don't think you just start a career as an actress like one would start their boring 9 to 5 office job. I think you either need obscene amounts of natural ability (rare) or years of schooling (less rare). I don't think some experience and other people agreeing that you're good is going to cut it. I'm sure you can find an acting school in your home town that can at least start you in the right direction for now if you're not old enough yet for classes. They can probably point you toward auditions for little things for the time being, a lot of actors actually started out with little parts in commercials. So good luck with that!
Real mature there. A bunch of X's? Are you going to do that if you don't make it past an audition?

Okay...I have absolutely no knowledge in this kind of stuff but I found an answer rated 5 that is posted recently. I don't know if you have read it or not but I think it is quite good.
"In high school the best thing to do is do performances for the school play. You may want to broaden your horizens vocally so you could play in musicals as well. The more well rounded you are the better. also when you graduate, i would look into going to a liberal arts college such as bethany college in wv. Its one of the best and i currently go there. The best thing to help strengthen your acting career is practicing monologues, finding friends and working on different scripts. The more knowledgeable you are, the better. This will mean that you will be able to pull off just about any part you want. Mirroring exercises work, breathing in and out, and even yoga helps relax the muscles. if you check out local listings in ur area, they have postings of auditions for plays. This will help you get out there, strengthen and hone your skills."

Los Angeles is in California, so you move to California...
You need to get acting experience. Join your schools performing arts group. Not sure if you need an agent, but it would help.
I'm not even sure about permits. Once you get an agent though, I'm pretty sure they're the ones who set up your auditions.
