You’ll do yourself an injury, most likely long term which could be very problematic, just for your own sake.
Since your 15, I wouldn’t advise you to do more than a hours workout a day.
And ideally, you should train every other day, so monday train, tuesday rest, wednesday train etc.
But it’s alright if your training with a different routine the following day (which you seem to be doing).
I’d just suggest you tone it down a bit is all there’s no need to go overboard.

if you can handle it i think its ok. it good that you focus on different parts of the body. Just be sure your diet can support all that lifting. also you could talk to a school nurse or gym teacher to find the best routine for you

you should be ok. your spacing out the muscle groups giving them time to heel.
