It depends on your goals. do you want more muscle mass (hypertrophy) or strength? Hypertrophy is usually 6-8 reps and strength is usually 3-5 reps. I wouldn't get rid of the bench press. It's an important compound lift that hits your chest and your arms.
I would suggest you try the Big 5. You can find it here on the forum, just look back a lil bit. Just ask any question you have. there's plenty of people who want to help you.
I'm 14 too. I started lifting about 2 years ago with my friend. We did basic stuff, but mostly isolation lifts. Trust me, you don't want to start with isolation exercises. Stick with compound lifts. they are a WHOLE lot better. Try the Bench Press, Deadlifts, Squats, Pullups, Dips, etc. Try upright rows for you shoulder, lats and traps and bent over rows for your whole back.
