If your still in your teens, keep your options open. You love programming? Fantastic! But software developers aren't the only professionals who write code. Lots of scientists do too - physicists, chemists, biologists - and of course engineers in all manner of fields. Don't disregard an interesting career path just because it doesn't say "software developer" on the cover.

As for "leadership position": that's a privilege you've gotta earn. Leadership isn't about technical prowess, it's about experience. Actually, it isn't even about technology, but about people. You always lead people; and doing that well takes a very different skill set to writing pretty code. If you want to lead, don't become one of those nerds who is incapable of normal human interaction. You're going to need other people, learn to get along with them now.

You sound like somebody with a lot of potential, and I like that you're being proactive here. I wish you the very best of luck!
