In Ohio, a speeding ticket for going between 11 and 29 mph over a speed limit of below 55 is 2 points. Though these points are likely to go on your driving record it does not appear that from this one, first offense that your temporary permit or probationary license will be suspended.

If you are under 18, the Registrar of Motor Vehicles will automatically suspend your probationary license for 90 days if you are convicted or plead guilty to two moving violations. You will also be required to complete a state authorized juvenile driver improvement program. Temporary permit holders and probationary license holders will be suspended for one year for accruing 3 moving violations before age 18.
