School in USA
I really want to move to USA to go to school there, I have family there where I can live at, but I was wondering if anyone knows if there is possible for me to move? (Btw I'm 14, turning 15 next year)

It's probably possible for your family to send you there, I think the CHinese do it a lot--but maybe that is university.
It is likely that you can if you have close relatives you can live with, sure, why not. Where I live, any county resident can go to the high school, and international students who are legally residing with a county resident can, also (especially if legal guardian), but there is a special application process.
So I would guess you probably can, but the relatives whom you will live with are the ones who should be contacting their local school district to get the details and requirements.

If you want to live with relatives they are the ones who need to, in the US, get information about everything they will need to do for this to happen.
If you want to stay for more than one school year, versus just a limited exchange program, they will need to make themselves responsible for you financially and prove that they are capable of doing so. They should check all of this with the State Department to find out the requirements for doing this and if they are willing and capable of doing so.
