Hi Sarah,
Wow its funny that you say that - I was the exact same!
When I was 16 I wrote my first "big" program, a BBS for the TRS-80 Model 4. I called it "compu-sexe" at first but then changed it to "Datamate", and bought ads in the local newspaper, calling it "sexually explicit". It got so busy so fast that I soon bought a second TRS-80 (Model 3) just so I could have it support 2 users at the same time (with 2 phone numbers and 2 "auto-answer" modems!
It was lots of fun. I learned alot and as goofy as it sounds, it helped me break out of my ackward shell at the time (nerdy guy, bad at sports, few friends, kept to myself, etc). Good times..!
