if there being nice they should honer it, i think they are only really going to make a fuss with people of over 16, cos they could not be in education (here in the UK atleast)

if you show any form of proof of age, they should let you, as all 14 year olds will be in some form of education.

I thought you had to be 18+ to take advantage of the Edu discount too, but I don't know.

online, as long as you're in college, in a k-12 school, or homschooled, you get a discount, but im buying mine from a store, i wonder if everything goes the same

Yes, only teachers and staff (and PTA members et al.) at the K-12 level get the EDU discount...not students.
