I was considering that, but the thing is where i live there isn't a large Jewish community. And the Jews that DO live here are older. So the local shul is full of older people ,plus it's conservative (not to judge anyone, but it's just not what i'm looking for) . So that's my dilemma!
That sounds like a very hard, lonely situation. Being the only (or one of very few) frum teenagers in your area is challenging. Is there an NCSY or other program for frum teenagers in your area? If so, that might give you a nice social outlet.
Alternatively, how about joining Partners in Torah? They can match you up with someone your age who you can connect to and have a chavrusa with. It can be a way to cultivate a friendship with another frum person (it sounds from your post like it would be long-distance, but that's fine--it could be a phone chavrusa).
I would also recommend trying to get away in the summers--see if you can go to a regular frum camp where you can find a peer group you'd feel comfortable with.
Hatzlacha rabbah!
