+1 on the saving money thing. This sport needs a minimum of $1000 to get started in properly, usually more like $1500. I know that probably seems like alot of money to a fourteen year old, but you'd be surprised how fast you can save it if you put your mind to it.
Lots of people will probably say you don't need nearly that much money, that you could get by on like three or four hundred. While it is true that you could field a kit and gun for that price, everything would be bargain basement quality and break quickly. Better off saving up and buying quality, at least that way you only have to buy once.

Most fields require either paintball goggles or Ballistics Rated Eye Protection. Paintball goggles are easy enough to get ahold of, and ballistics glasses you can more often than not find in army surplus stores and the like.

Usually no you can't use regular "safety glasses" (I assume you mean like shop glasses).
It really depends on the field and what the owners insurance covers. Some fields may require full paintball approved mask, some just paintball goggles, others sealed ballistics, and even others ballistic glasses (shooting glasses). Usually it's the private fields will allow sealed ballistics/ballistics. Although TM is a good starter brand, there are other guns available (if you have the capital). CA has good externals so all you really need to do is upgrade the internals and you're good to go. TM although great internals have kind of crappy externals and your body may end up breaking in which case you'll have to get a new body (definitely not cheap, especially metal bodies). Then you can get into crazier (more expensive) brands like VFC (Vega Force Co.), Real Sword, G&P, KWA, SystemA etc. Although what kuro says is true you don't have to dump all that money at once. I started off with hiking boots, bdu's, a gun (off the classifieds), a few mags and some borrowed stuff. Eventually I bought more gear and stuff. Total *initial* investment was probably around $600-700, however once the smoke cleared everything probably has set me back around $1000-1200. We don't have a problem with newbies asking legitimate questions, just ones who don't use the search function that's right there (not to mention the other million threads with the same question in the section they're posting in) and wonder why we're so "hostile" towards newbies. If you have a question you think might be answered just do a quick search and if not then post in a new thread. Thats probably one of the reasons I have a low thread count since if I have a question I usually search and read the thread in it's entirety then and only then if I have further questions or need clarification will I post. http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...Airsoft+Canada (Definition #2)

never be cheap with goggles, if it cost less than 50 bucks... is not worth it.

As to goggles. Some informal places will let you use properly rated shop goggles. But any professional or semi-professional place will require paintball or balistic goggles. And honestly, you don't want to cheap out on the eye protection. Anything that is properly rated will stop bb's but if you cheap out they'll fog, they'll scratch, they'll basically all-round suck. Check with your local fields. Some of them demand paintball goggles for insurence purposes. If they don't then get balistic goggles like ESS: comfortable, won't fog at all, and are rated to stop double aught buckshot at twenty feet so they'll stop bbs without so much as a scratch. For comfort if nothing else, the two things you should definitely not cheap out on are eye protection and footwear.
