If you want to loose weight, you need to burn more than you are taking in. Depending on your activity levels, you should only need 2000-3000 a day.
If you want to burn fat, you need to burn more than you take in, but sill get a good amount of calories to stay healthy.
check out freetrainers.com you can set up a profile, and it will tell your EXACTLY how many calories, protein, fats, carbs, everything you need a day. Its an awesome site!1

If you are moderately active, you can count on 15 calories per pound of weight (in your case around 2000) If you, like most people, are not moderately active you should probably have 1800. The best way to figure it out is to weigh yourself about once a week and see if your weight is steady or falling off or gaining. Adjust your calories accordingly

2000 calories is a normal amont for a 14 year old. Do NOT go under 1200 calories if you are dieting. 1000 calories is the threshold and if you live on that as a 14 year old, you will get very sick and malnourished.

It really depends on what you do, if you exercise or if you sit all day. Maybe this little link will help you determine it. I would say generally, you should stay around 1700 for someone your age. Personally I never count calories - only carbohydrates. You can have something low fat, low calories and a lot of sugar - and put on a ton of weight. Cut out soda - that's all.
