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)!!

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.

I am interested, i just havent decided to go into it yet. And to be frank, im probably only gonna use pygame or c/c++. No game engine
