I am a 15 year old boy.

Height: 5 feet 6 inches.

Weight: 61kg.

I am unable to do push-ups properly. I can do up to 8 knee push-ups. However after that I can't keep my shoulders in their place and they come up.

I can't do even one complete push-up.

What can I do to do complete pushups? Please suggest some progressions. I have been doing knee push-ups for about 2 months now. Any help appreciated.

You should keep doing knee pushups, but you should also start doing regular pushups at an incline.

enter image description here

Find an angle where you can do 10-15 repetitions. If you can do more than that, find something lower. With time, you'll be coming down onto the ground, doing regular pushups!

Lowering about 1/3 to 1/2 way done and HOLDING there will help you build the strength to do the full depth.

I lost ALL strength from illness - was in the same predicament and this is how I recovered.
