I was in your shoes 10-15 years ago. Here's a few bits of advice:
* Upwork (well, Elance back then) worked out pretty well for me. The skill test are a nice way of showing that you can do the work without having much history.
* You don't have to tell everyone that you're a teen - don't lie about it, but don't shout it from the rooftops.
* As other folks have mentioned, a GitHub and/or personal website can help you.
* Create a couple of side projects - they don't have to be that original or full-featured, make a simple game or something. Just put something out there that you can point to and say "I built that".
I do some mentoring and also occasionally hire folks for contract work. Email is in my profile if you're interested in either.
