Hey!
Firstly good on your for having a dream-if you don't dream it, you wont achieve it!
So you're already on your way!
Now then, the user below has given you some pretty good advice. The reason why I thought I'd add my opinion is that a lot of the things suggested to you (youtube etc) other people do already.
I mean, how many times have you looked at the comments part of youtube and had someone pleading to subscribe to their channel?
The thing I've noticed about all big singers are:
1) They're in it for the right reasons. So you want to be famous? Often, record companies etc can see through people who are in it for the fame. So the first step I'd advise you to do is to put music first, making it big second. Why not sing in old folks homes, schools, something charitable. Your passion will shine through. Don't demand payment at first, if they like you, then I'm sure they'd give you tips. Include this on any CV.
2)Don't let it get you down. The thing is, if getting famous and singing is all you think about-you'll become vulnerable to it, like you'll become too self absorbed in it. Concerntrate on getting a good job/good grades (sorry you didn't say your age) and generally enjoying life. These days, many people who're famous are also grounded.
3) You need to keep it real. Understand that you wont become the next Anastasia overnight. Abit like the second point, but keep positive and your expectations low, and you'll always go upwards.
4) If you write songs (these days you have to write have the backing of Simon Cowell or be able to write songs!) then do something original. Like send them to small record companies, but say send it in a parcel not just over the internet, to make it look mysterious and inviting. It's what businesses do to get their latest inventions noticed.
5) Finally why not try to appear on local radio stations. Even just a voluntary one, for free, would expose more people to more of your music. ]
Have you thought about contacting your local fair for an audition?
Perhaps ask your school if maybe they would allow you to perform in the auditorium?...
Have you tried Youtube?... If you have you could share your video on facebook to friends etc.
These are starts, Maybe not huge but everyone starts somewhere.
Learn to work on promoting yourself, Go to local pubs and participate in karaoke contest etc. Put yourself out there ]
