No, there's no set time you'll feel anything and for her to say that was foolish on her part.

It's also possible what you felt at 14 weeks wasn't movement. It's uncommon for a first time mother to feel movement so early, with the norm being 16-24 weeks.

And my baby is facing my spine, so it will probably start hurting soon lol my back feels like it's broken.

You baby may be facing your spine so you cant feel the kicks. No worries hun, I just went through this, I was freaking out because I didnt feel my baby since 14 Weeks andnow im 16 and my babe was kicking my *** last night out of nowhere. Try not to worry too much, acline is right its still super early for us

The position of the baby/placenta determines when/how much you feel your baby also but it is still SUPER early. I wouldn't fret until 24 weeks.
