1) Pick up a basic programming language.
2) Pay attention in your math classes.

Try the off topic forum, you'll get more responses there. Be careful :p

I'd just say that you have a lot of time to figure out what you want to do, and there's nothing you can't do.

you are 14. Plenty of time right now to change your sucky math to excellent math. Only when you get into high school where it starts to take a toll. Get a tutor, improve your math skills.

Go online, read what colleges offer for computer science, computer engineering. Read the course descriptions. Is this what you want to do?

I'm not sure how much a 14-year old will get out of this, but here is a 4 year Comp Engineering Cirriculum
Sample course descriptions - same thing applies

You need a strong verbal as well as mathematical aptitude - not just math.
