One thing worth mentioning is that computer cheating is rampant in online chess, the slower the time control the more cheating there is, and the level of cheating rises quicly once you get above advanced-beginner level. At 1500 rapid you're probably playing against a lot of people who are using computers for openings or some kind of analysis at crucial points--whether "a lot" means 10% or 30% or 50%, I have no clue. So do keep in mind that a 1500 rapid online rating is likely to mean a higher level than 1500 in over-the-board play, assuming you're not getting computer help yourself LOL.
Are you serious? I thought online rating would be a way higher than otb rating. I never played otb in my whole life lol

So basically, I am a 10-year-old kid who is at 1500 Elo. Is it even supposed to be a good rating for me?

Akiba Rubinstein started playing at the relatively late age of 14. He went on to become a world championship contender. At 10 years old, you are way ahead of him!
