yo liste, i may be 14, but heed this advice but the best thing to do is stay in school, work on math, learn calc. Just motivate yourself, go wherever you feel happiest ..
im thinkin about going to digipen for courses this summer (they offer it for ppl entering 9th grade)
anyway, i enjoy playing games, which is why i enjoy programming them

The only problem is that they use Java and C++ as their primary programming languages and I'm not to familiar with either.
i hate both too, but just do your best and try to learn them
also, as you learn them, try to develop applications that you want..
for instance like 3 years ago(when i was 11) i was learning vb because i wanted to learn to make games... thats what motivated me and inspired me
i spent countless hours burying myself in books, trying to learn VB(6) it was hard(cuz i was 11) but i learnt a lot.. so, challange yourself to make applications that you want, for instance, lol i had trouble trying to make a calculator
then i tried making, "whack a moe" then i made "pong" now im making mario..
life's a mess, but dont let that throw you down
my point is, work at it, and you'll acheive it..(and stay in school too
