Especially at your age, running is a great thing to do. Join Cross country. Chances are you'll meet a lot of great people and they'll be a lot of people you know there too. I can pretty much garuntee you you'll lose at least 10 pounds. Of course, that is in the fall, but you can get a nice pair of shoes, start running now, and join cross country this fall. Work your way up and run 3-4 miles 6 days a week and you wont beleive what it'll do for you.
Also, eat god foods. Eat a balanced diet, not too many salty foods, fast foods, or general junk food. Get some fruits and veggies. I like to eat at least a can of green beans, a can of corn, a few bannanas, and orange, lots of grapes, and a couple apples every week. I also eat whatever is at school. Two fruits or vegetables come with a meal. (i.e. a cup of corn and a bannana) Drink a lot of water too...
