Thank you for sharing that bit of personal information.
Now that we know that, it will be easier for us to help you.

That is: Knowing one's audience is always important.

You can of course start learning about the C/C++ language if you want, but . . . .

It might be easier to start out with a language intended for interactive, self learning.

Getting such a late start in the field (kids these days start programming at ages of 6 to 8 years old) you will have a bit of catching up to do with people half your age.

Not to be alarmed, that will be true all of your life. I am probably older than your grandfather, and I still have to study like crazy to even understand the people half my age.

Here is a page you might find interesting:
http://www.umcs.maine.edu/education/...e-scratch.html

And a quick over-view of the two languages mentioned:
http://www.kidslike.info/computer_pr...ming_languages

Just don't be offended by the domain name, it has some good information on that site.
In fact, if you page down to the alternative #5, you will read that it is written in Lua. The same Lua that some of the projects here use (like the kpdf project).
So, no, that site doesn't lead you into a dead-end "kids language" that goes nowhere.

Here is one more opinion about where to start out:
