In the meantime, I would start to build a portfolio.

I’m a math teacher. During my years home with my kids, and quite a lot since then, I’ve done LOTS of freelance writing. A little has been on parenting, some odds and ends, and a LOT on teaching-- since that’s what I know. I’ve made some good money, and would have a decent portfolio if I wished to put one together.

Think about the topics you’re qualified to write on, then Google “freelance writing opportunities for teens” or anything of the sort. Think of the magazines you would like to write for, and google their “submissions guidelines.”
