There's a bunch of different reasons. But at the core I think it's because you're simply too young to make such a life changing decision. You lack life experience, your brain is still developing and there are so many emotions and hormones swirling through your body as a teenager that it's hard to be in touch with reality.
Personally I did a lot of dumb crap when I was young, I lacked confidence and I was insecure about my body. I think most teens have these same feelings and I'd guess it's even harder or more intense if you're also gay.
Do you think most kids who got tattoos before 18 are happy with that decision 15 years later? Of course it's not the same thing but my point is you don't know at 14 years old what you're gonna be like at 30. But at 30 you got a pretty good idea what you'll be like at 50.
Meanwhile when you never experienced adulthood as the sex you were born with healthy natural working parts your going to wonder what it's like if you never had the surgery. You're always going to wonder if you made the right decision (even if you did). And when you're an adult and looking for a reason as to why you're unhappy (like the majority of people) it will be easy to blame it on the sex change you had at 15 even if that's not the reason.
And I could keep going but that's just my opinion, I'm not gonna be the one to stop you, well unless you're my child.
