Go for it buddy! I started taking lessons when I was 12. I soloed on my sixteenth birthday and got my PPL when I was 17. I am now a CFI and about to start applying to the airlines. No one in my family flew, they couldn't understand why I loved airplanes so much. My parents took me to the airport for my lessons but told me if I wanted to really do this I had to pay...so I got a paper route until I was 15 and then got a job working at a golf course. Just don't let anyone tell you that you can't learn to fly or that you're to young to do it....all that did for me was make the fire burn hotter and higher...Good Luck my friend
