I want to start a rock band, and because I'm still in high school, that makes it an obligation to start one with kids my age. Although a lot of teenagers are musically talented and listen to rock music, none that I've met are committed to starting a band as much as I am.
On the bright side, I live in a small town. If I'm able to do this, word would spread easily and I can start getting gigs locally. Honestly, I just want to have something going for myself before I finish school, and this is what I'm good at. I just don't know where to start as far as band members.

Ok, reality check:
Very few people are able to live on their art only.
Even if you're incredibly skilled, that doesn't necessarily mean that you'll become successful. Success is a combination of skill, luck, and networking.
You're probably going to have to play for a hilariously low amount of money and wonder for years how come come there's people that gets rich by doing this.
That being said, you should probably get a job. I'm not telling you to give up on this, but have something else going on for you, even if it's just to pay the bills. If possible, work at something that gives you spare time to rehearse and the such. In the odd case that your band becomes famous and you're able to live off your music, you can always quit your job. If that doesn't happen, you can have a rock band as a hobby. It's feasible, I know because I'm acquainted with people that does this.
