mfei,
14 isn't to young to learn and it's a skill that will serve you well for the rest of your life. Just learn to respect the hot end, not fear it.
Get a soldering iron, some wire, solder and a damp spounge (to clean the tip), and cut and splice a few wires peices together. If you've got an older friend/teacher/parent who can show you how, get them to step you through it. Otherwise, there are plenty of how-to videos online, not to mention the two on flite test.
