First of all, if you are 15 and look 12 you should be celebrating! Casting directors might have a great time with you... in this business they always prefer an older person to play younger than they are because of the work hour restrictions. I can't tell you how many calls I've seen where they want people 18 to look younger! Be grateful that by the time you're ready to work, you may fit right into that category.
Another thing is unfortunately, you will eventually have to move. Not much happens in Ohio. Things do film there on location though and you can search for websites like your state's Film Alliance / Commission / Society etc. Just search Ohio Film first and see what comes up and if you don't get much, try adding one of those words in turn and see what you get. Sometimes they post info if a production filming in your state is looking for locals to fill small roles or be extras.
Now, what you really need is to get into classes. You need training and experience. Get into theatre too. Look up websites for theatres in your area and find out when they're having auditions. The classes will teach you what you need to know about that or you can post another question to get more info about that specifically.
Websites that will help:
www.musicaltheatreaudition.com
www.stageagent.com
www.backstage.com **do a casting search for auditions
www.actorsaccess.com **some film and tv castings here
www.aftra.org - tv actors union
www.sag.org - screen actors guild (search for legitimate agents among other things)
Just explore those sites. They have articles with advice and all kinds of stuff.
good luck!

Ask your parents to find an acting school for you. You do not have enough acting training to be on TV or in a Movie. Television and movies are in Los Angeles and New York City. You have to mov to one of those cities.
Take acting classes for the 20 years and then audition. You are NOT ready to be on Television or in movies. You don't have the training.

ok, first get 2-3 years of acting lessons, then become a member of your local community theatre. After you have done a few shows there,got to this website. it has tons of audition listings.
