Nowhere reputable will train anybody at 15, so you have a few years to go.
As far as distance from a wrestling school goes, I've said it a million times... someone can either settle for sub-par training at a school that happens to be 10 minutes away, or make the necessary sacrifices to be instructed properly for their career by people who know what they are doing.
If the town on your profile is where you are located, you are less than 90 minutes from the training center.

Ah, too bad but I guess I'll wait it out.

If being a wrestler is in your blood, you'll quickly learn that a 90 minute drive is nothing.  |

I recommend reading Foley's book and learn about how far he traveled for training.
I used to drive 90 minutes each way for the privilege of training at the CHIKARA school, twice a week with several other workers. Before that, it was 45 minutes each way several times a week for ROH training.

I am going to The House of Truth in Detroit in Jan ( After graduating college in a few months, just one more class in fall) which is over 5 hours away. I will and gladly making the journey in January because wrestling is my dream ( and it even saved my life) I wish I had a reputable school within an hour or two. If there was one I would already be there.

Other sports. Amateur wrestling wouldn't hurt.

How about some martial arts, or to develop a character, getting some acting classes?

I second freaky's acting class suggestion. Knowing how to develop and play a character in front of an audience can be as marketable as one's in-ring skills in the eyes of a promoter.

Britani Knight is the only one who started really young, and she was an obvious exception due to coming from a family of wrestlers.
The earliest most schools will accept students is age 17. This is true for the ROH/SHIMMER classes in PA.
