Hey everyone! I'm 16 and really passionate about technology, but honestly, I feel completely lost. I have no clue what HTML, Python, Lua, cybersecurity, IT, CSS, or C# really are. Do I need to understand IT to get into cybersecurity? Is it still worth it to learn web development in 2025? How do I even figure out what area of tech I might want to pursue? Plus, with AI taking over some jobs, I'm worried about my future. Where should I begin? Should I watch YouTube videos or take courses? I have so many questions! Also, I'm from Brazil, so any tips on YouTubers or resources would be awesome! Treat me like a total beginner, because that's what I am!

The cool thing about programming is you can just dive in! Try learning Python or building a simple website. Start with basic tutorials and little projects. You'll learn a lot by just experimenting and creating. No matter what path you choose, having a grasp on basic programming concepts and algorithms will really help you, even if you end up in a different tech job. Just get started!
I've started learning Lua in Roblox, and it’s been fun! I think I just need to focus on exploring right now, I'm still young. Thanks for the advice!
