Columbia, at the age you are at right now, the world must seem like a strange place. At one end, it's expecting you to start to act more like an adult, but, at the other end, there are people who still treat you like a child and don't seem to want to let you grow up. You see the life that older teens have and you wish that you weren't still in the "grey area" that you're in now. If you want to get a more interesting life, then you'll have to get out there and live a little. Even if it's by yourself, go out and see what you find. You might be surprised by what you see. If you're looking for someone to talk to, check out the bulletin and message boards around the web for people that share your interests. There is a Classifieds Section on this very site that has had many people leave messages looking for email penpals to talk to. It might feel totally boring at the stage of life that you are at, but remember that you still have most of your life ahead of you. As the saying goes, "Life is what happens while you were busy making other plans."
