How do I get involved in philosophy at 15?

Im 15, going into Year 11, and I have always loved philosophy, pyschology, and overall debates about life. However, no one my age is really like me from where I am, and I would love friends who I can have a range of conversations with, including philosophy. But how exactly do I get involved in this sort of stuff? Is there an extra-cirricular acitivity i could do? Aside from reading books, which i do, of course.
