I'm 17 and I regret not starting coding earlier. I only know HTML right now, and as I'm heading to college in January, I'm feeling a bit lost. I have some pressure because my cousin just started learning too, and I don't want to be compared to her. With just three months before college, I want to get serious about learning Python, improve my skills in front-end development (HTML/CSS/JS), and finally grasp some computer science theory. The challenge is figuring out where to begin. I'm not great at math, but I understand it's important for programming. I'm looking for advice on how to start, recommended resources, or study plans to help me get better.

It's totally normal to feel overwhelmed, especially with college approaching. A great resource to kickstart your coding journey is Harvard's CS50 course online. It's designed for beginners and covers a range of topics in computer science. Remember, college will teach you the basics too, so focus on enjoying the process and don't compare yourself to others! You've got years to develop your skills!
Thanks for the suggestion! I enrolled in CS50 and I’m excited to start. Just nervous about keeping up with everyone else.
