I want to havebig lungs so I can run easier and do everything while breathing more easily. I want to be able to run far and fast without having to stop for air.
Like any body part, you can exercise your lungs to be more efficient and powerful. I'd recommend the following: go for a 15 minute walk once a day (you can do this exercise any time but it's most effective if you do it for 15 minutes or more at a time).
While you're walking, take a deep breath lasting about 4 steps, hold it for 4 steps, then exhale for 4 steps, then hold your lungs empty for 4 steps. Once you've done that, increase it to 5 or 6 steps. Keep doing that for the entire walk. It's harder than it sounds.
Make sure you breathe properly - expanding your stomach to let the diaphragm muscles do their work on the inhale. Try not to use your shoulders to breathe deeply, that's not as effective.

There's this Yoga move where you straighten your back and breathe in deeply until your head goes back and hold your hand tightly against your stomach so more of your lungs are filled up with air, it works and causes most of the air in your lungs to be oxygenated blood and pushes out more dexoygenated blood.

there is a newly invented substance called A-AKG, a form of the amino acid arginine, that makes me instantly more athletic with no really bad side effects. (i need to drink tons of water, that's all) So far the only brand that I've found to work is MRI's "NO2"
I'm not sure you can even legally buy it if you are 15 though. If I had to guess I would say the stuff would be safe and beneficial for you.
And I'm not saying you shouldn't go learn yoga first.
Otherwise, just keep training. Your body will adapt.
