Just tell your problem, we are happy to help, aren't we guys ? 
I also started to learn Maya when I was 15, I read in a Magazine that Maya is the best 3D animation program, and I'm always for the best stuff 
so I started learning Maya.
By the way, I'm 17 and I gained some experience already in maya, I mostly learned by myself.
All the best, with kind regards, Ovi
