Too young to write?

Do you think that age matters with regards to getting published? I'm seventeen years old and I've been seriously writing since 2009. I'm completely certain that writing is my forte, but I'd really an opinion on this.

thanks

I am fifteen and have been writing seriously since 2009 also and am making a serious effort with publishing my writing alongside my GCSE's (I swear parts of my brain explode everyday) but if four year olds can get their work accepted by top art galleries then it seems acceptable that younger people should be able to publish something.
