I'm 17, so I'd be happy to talk to you if you're interested. Drop me a PM if you like.
In terms of greater involvement and outreach, I concur with the furs who suggested Furry4Life. It's a great place to find furries closer to your age.
Also, I REALLY don't mean to advertise, but you might also try the side I administer, FurNation (link in sig). We attract a lot of younger furries, especially in the public chat. It, along with Furry4Life, is a good place if socialization is your main goal.
Best of luck!
