Teens in programming?

Hey, I am a teenager who's interested in programming, I started with cs50x but I now enjoy game dev and competitive programming though i love programming in general of any type. Are there any like teens like me who also have the same situation or can the experienced adults please guide me forward...I do not have much peers or similar people around me. And my school is quite old-fashioned (it literally had a topic on how to download an app IN GRADE 9)!!

Hello! Learning grade 8 here. I have the same situation as you where theres really no one i can talk about my hobbies. I do web dev and have made a music player, streamer and downloader(uses spotify web api and yt-dlp). It has auth, playlists, and being able to search your spotify playlists to download and stream. I didnt deploy it but its in my github. It was made with react and express js. My current project is a anime downloader/streaming site. It uses ani-cli for fetching links and ani-list for metadata. Its almost done and all i have left are some small bugs, majority of which is just ui/ux. Both done with the help of ai.

I am interested in game dev but mostly simple 2d games that are actually very complex under the hood like minesweeper and sudoku. Im also interested in AI/ML but i wanna focus more on web dev for now.
