I'm in High School right now (the Irish equivielent anyway).
Last year, I entered a Twitter-related project into a Science competition and I won my category. I've created software ranging from Copyright-protection to http://spreadapp.co.
My point is, there is no limitation to what you can do, the sky is the limit. Think of a cool project you'd like to work on, and make it to the best of your ability, and don't let anybody hold you back. You'll find at the end that you have a great piece of software (or a product) that you can have to show for your work, or sell!

Good luck in the future!
