It should be used only after you consult with your doctor. Most of the time it is harmless, but check with your doctor first, and let him know your intentions.

creatine in my experience is not very helpful. What it does is retain water so it makes you look bigger but that's about it. It is suitable but probably not that beneficial. It all depends on your workouts and excercise regimen. Your best bet would be protein shakes after your workout. you need protein to repair the tears in your muscles. The protein will help more than creatine just don't go overboard follow the recommendations on the bottle.
Creatine, when used in conjunction with appropriate nutrition and a more intensive physical training program, is a highly effective means of increasing size, strength, and stamina.
But, since you are so young, you should ask your doctor if there are any concerns that you need to address before using it.
I can't stress enough the importance of a very healthful diet:
lean proteins
whole grain-based carbohydrates
plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits
minimum of 60oz of water daily
Combined with a training schedule of no less than three times a week consistently, preferably more, at a high intensity, you will develop lean and well defined muscles. You have to include moderate to high-intensity cardiovascular training as well.
Your biggest concern will be overusing creatine. It can stress your liver and kidneys, can cause gastrointestinal stress, and although creatine has been shown to be generally well tolerated in healthy individuals who live a healthful lifestyle.
If a doctor is not an option, then seek out a nutritionist. Your age is an important factor as well as your general health.
