Im really interested in karate, but I always hear people say thay karate is 'boring' and that I should do something different. I respect every type of martail art, but I want to learn one thats really violent, I want to actually hit people , which one fits me? By the way I'm 14, if that makes any difference.
 
Karate is usually taken as a cliche martial art but it is very practical to learn. When you say you want to be violent I hope you mean you like to spar because the object of sparring in Karate is not to hurt your sparring partner but to hone your skills and believe me, you may not be saying that when you actually feel the pain of a bare knuckle punch into the gut.

Based on your description I think you should take the one I take, Kyokushin Karate. It places high emphasis on sparring with minimal protective equipment.

Also if you're 14 you'll have to work really hard on become flexible, flexibility is a huge asset to martial arts.
