Lots of threads on youth and weightlifting in the H&F forum.... look thru.
Conscensus is " for lifting at your age.... just have someone who is knowledgeable, first show you proper form and not to get too carried away with the amount of weight you begin lifting.
You did mention the dumb bells so I mentioned routines to involve them, solely.
Yes, push ups are also great for the pecs.... (did wonders for mine  j/k!) also lots of threads on push ups and the variety of types you can do (do a search). |

If you have a bench then do bench press for your pecs. How much do you bench? it seems to increase your pec size alot if you can bench alot. I'm trying to do 200 when im 15.

Named the "Dipping" Exercise by Charles Atlas he claims if performed steadily and faithfully every day, without fail, it can add at least an inch to your chest in THE FIRST 10 DAYS! 
Perform the movements of this exercise, if possible, in front of a large mirror.... regularly morning and night. Try to do at least 50 a day, in groups of 5 or 10. If you cannot do this amount, DO NOT STRAIN. Do as many as you can and try to build up to doing 50 a day.
Step 1.
Place two plain chairs facing each other, front to front, about 18 inches apart.
Step 2.
Rest a hand on the seat of each chair, starting with arms straight, and your body extended in a sloping position, toes on the floor.
Step 3.
Come up slowly until your arms are straight. Bend the elbows as you go down (between chairs) and bring the arms straight as you come up. Breathe out as you come up, breathe in as you go down.
Step 4.
Keeping body rigid, but bending your elbows, dip down as low as you can between the chairs, letting your chest down as near as possible to the floor.
Step 5.
Continue until slightly tired, then start again. This exercise should be practiced faithfully morning and night.
