14 is old enough to handle fire responsibly. I'd make sure you had plenty of ways to make fires in responsible ways. If you weren't responsible about it, though, I'd probably be very concerned. Or if you just generally weren't a responsible kid then I'd be concerned, too. Then I'd probably make sure to supervise you closely with lighters. If you were really messing up even with supervision then I wouldn't let you do it.

Make sure you know the dangers and risk. Tell you not in the house and only when I am around. But I would prompt you to find a better way to express yourself and explore....still not excluding what you enjoy already...its just dangerous and I wouldn't want to harm you or others.

show you a film where someone lost their home and loved ones due to someone intentionally playing with things that cause fires or take you to a burn trauma center and show you what teenagers your age go through after playing with lighters.

take away the lighters; slap you in the head and give you a baseball bat or something useful

can you say pyromaniac, it's ok I'm just the same, lol. keep them away from you like in a closet so you can't think of playing with them. if i were you parent I'd probably just ground you and keep you away from anything flammable and the stove.

I can't tell you what a parent would do. They need to come up with a cure.

Let you play with them till you burn yourself and die. Natural selection, your genes won't be passed on.
