First thing to do is not blame defeats on cheaters. It's an old and easy excuse and true far less often than people think. If you just look for excuses for your defeats and focus on your biggest wins you won't get far.
Yes!!!!!!!! That is why i do not do 3 min tourneys anyore... They are cheaters. When i analyze my gamwes after the tourney, "swiss", it tells me that no blunderes no mistakes nuthin!!!!!!!!! While i had some mistaks, when my opponent was about 4 points less than me??? Not a cheater??? hmmmmmm..

No blunders doesn't necessarily mean a cheater. Most people playing 3 minute chess are not going to be cheating, especially not at a low level. If they were cheating they'd be higher rated! But if all you take out of game analysis is to believe your opponent cheated then asking if you can become a GM is like asking if you can visit Pluto
Ahmmmm many of the peoples accounts were closed that i played btw,.... Because of violating the fair play policy.

Well, even so, if that's your takeaway from those games the point is still the same.

The surest way for a 15 year old with your current rating to become a GM by the time you're 25 is to devote every waking moment to the game. If this is your burning desire and you really want to do it, then you must commit wholeheartedly to the goal.
Half measures won't work. Full measures are not guaranteed to work. But the only way to find out is to really give it an honest try.

Yes, it is the only way. And still you likely fail. Perhaps you could use your time better.

15 years of devoting 6-8 hrs/day (no exceptions!) to chess improvement, study chessbooks with a real big board and nice pieces, analyze all your losses, train a lot of strategy, do tactics every day 30mins, basic mates and endgames often, play through games by the old masters on your real board( don't over analyze, just play through), AND you MIGHT become IM-strenght. Why do I say IM strenght? Keep in mind an IM is an international master who has traveled to many countries for international otb tournaments and fared well in them against players of similar high ratings. There are expenses, plane tickets, hotel fees, tournament fees, food, and you often need to still rent a place in your home country anyway. Picture a tournament with 200 players and almost everybody is rated 2200+. You really gonna be in the top 3 so you win some money so you can afford to pay for your life?
\Read tnis carefull. It applies to YOU.
I have beaten a 1600 once btw when i was 800
