In the U.S., a 14-year-old junior would be a person who is very intelligent and has skipped grades. Most juniors are 16-17 years old.

I guess that a freshman is the same than a junior, because they are both going to the first grade, I supposed it.

I don't know, maybe not.

Don't worry too much, Jchen. The system changes from country to county, and even in the same country it doesn't stay the same for long. When my husband was at school there were different names for the courses, they changed it when I was little (he's only 5 years older than me) and now it's a new system again. I still have problems remembering what course my daughter is studying because I'm used to my system. The way marks are given also changes quite often in Spain. The traditional method (numbers from 1 to 10 is still understood and widely used but there are other possibilities. In Pablo's school (he's 4 ) they use colours (green= well done, yellow= could be better, red= failed most miserably).

Yes, Jchen, the grade at any country is the same, because I think that the education always goings to same place in your knowledge.

In the US:

Freshman - someone in their first year of High School or College.
Sophomore - someone in their second year of High School or College.
Junior - someone in their third year of High School or College.
Senior - someone in their fourth year of High School or College.

Of course, there are other meaning for the words junior and senior as well.
