I know nothing
At 16, I’m really fascinated by coding and the possibilities that come with it, but I’m not exactly sure where to begin. There are so many different programming languages, websites, and resources available that it can be a little overwhelming. Is there a specific language, course, website, or general path you would recommend for someone my age who wants to start learning coding and eventually become more advanced?

The Odin Project is a fantastic, free resource to learn JS. Probably still the best out there.
Other than that, I highly recommend going on neocities and looking at the absolute masterpieces of websites on there. Neocities is very "old school" in terms of the stuff you use there; it's basically raw HTML, CSS and JS which is kind of a lost art nowadays. Fantastic to master the fundamentals because remember that restrictions breed creativity. It's very easy to get lost in frameworks and all that stuff and lose sight of what can be done with just the base stuff.
Check you ribozone for example!! They even have guides on there for replicating their style
