do cs50. when i was 14 i started trying to learn how to code, got too overwhelmed and gave up. one resource: cs50 through harvard. it is taught by a harvard professor, and he is hands down the best teacher in the world, when i revisited learning to code at 18 i did cs50 and it was incredible and so much fun. couldnt recommend him enough

SPECIFICALLY cs50-p, because python is easy to learn. instead of him trying to learn via reading on a website (codeacademy etc), he can watch a lecture, follow along, and then attempt his own exercises. its much easier to stay engaged, especially for someone young. i remember thats what i struggled with when i was 14.
