Definitely use your own stamps! This will help you be more effective in who you write, instead of just anyone, plus, if you're limited, you'll appreciate even more who you do get back.
I started collecting when I was 12, and am now 27. That first four years, I took all the stamps from my mom... When she needed to mail things, she eventually started just taking them to the PO, because she knew I'd take the stamps if she brought them home. When I started working, at 16, I pretty much took care of all of it myself, and then by the time Christmas rolled around, she felt proud of me for supporting it myself, and gave me a roll of stamps and stocked me up on envelopes. That has become a tradition now, everyone gets me stamps. I just get a couple books from my girlfriend and brother, but Mom still gives me the roll of 100 every year. And don't think for a second I don't still try and bum stamps off of my mom throughout the rest of the year! It's just not as often, so she doesn't get that ticked off.
Definitely ddon't quit! If you keep going, you'll be able to look back when you get old and amaze yourself at all this awesome stuff you were able to accumulate!
