At your age, you should be involved in sports at school. That way you have a coach to set up your workout schedule and motivate you.
Your parents pay taxes so the school has coaches and facilities, why not take advantage of it?

Edit: What a coincidence! I'm a skinny, clueless, old guy who works out everyday and could probably leave you in the dust at any event you cared to name. Don't discount your teacher as a resource because he's old. It happens to everyone. Eventually you'll learn that age and experience nearly always overcomes youthful energy. Your 'older friends' are a little misguided. Every athlete I know (and I know quite a few) works out just about every day for at least an hour or two, often more. I, and they, don't do the same thing every day, which is where your friends may be a little confused. One day might be 40 or 50 miles on a bike, plus running for 45 minutes to an hour, while the next could be running 3 miles to the pool, a couple miles worth of laps in the pool, then run home. For general fitness, your running and pushups are a good start. You might want to add situps, crunches, pullups, and lunges to work on a few more muscle groups. To give you a more specific routine, you would need to have a goal, i.e., are you training for track? football? decathlon? Rugby? Volleyball? Basketball?
