Protein shakes and free weights for teens?

Hi, I’m in my mid teens and want to start bulking up a bit. I drink breakfast at the moment, I have:
80g of frozen berries
2/3 weetabix
200ml of Semi-skimmed milk
1 Banana
I am looking to add some protein into this, I would add it in slowly and stop if I felt there were any negative effects.
I was looking at getting Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold?
I have breakfast before I do anything, I have it around 10 mins after I wake up.
Here is my exercise routine:
Mon-Fri – 2 Mile push bike ride to school and back (4 Miles in total)
Mon-Sat – 1 1/2 Paper Round before school
Mon-Sat – 2 Mile Paper Round straight after school

Monday I go for a 20 minute run at around 9/10 kph.
Tuesday I swim straight after school for 45 mins/come home paper round then workout.
Wednesday I would like to swim from 20:30-22:00 but that is a 4 mile ride to get there and back. If the weather sucks I work out instead.
Thursday I lift weights
Friday I do 2 hours of field hockey and ride my bike 4 miles to get there and back.
Saturday I’m usually on my feet walking all day but I life weights when I get home/rest day
Sunday I swim, but thats a 4 mile ride there and back, if the weather sucks I just workout instead.

By workout I mean
chin ups back 20
bench 40
bent lat raise33
pressups 30
shoulder press34
Bi curls30
lat raise33
flyers 40
crunches 40
(Numbers on the right are reps, this is a killer, only rest if you can’t complete a rep, rest for 5 seconds and do as many as you can. Don’t accept anything else but a victory.)

The reason it is upper body is because I spend so long riding bikes and running. Keeps the balance.

And finally, what do you think of this whole situation? My dad’s friends have used proteins and they came out flabby rather then muscly.
Should I go for it or what?

THANK YOU

Holy crap, you work out so much you SHOULD be raising your protein intake. The protein mixed with the exercise should definitely help you bulk up, in a good way.
