Just because you were "doing" the languages doesn't mean your good at them. Just about every programing language is extremely easy to start in, including C++.
I'm 13 too and I just wanted to thank you for the advice. It's something I've been worrying about - whether to indulge myself in whatever I find interesting, or to get more of a "social life." Now I know not to worry! Thank you!

Many programmers reached 14 before home computers existed, and it was more difficult back then. Plus it was harder to get porn.

From wikipedia: Bjarne Stroustrup developed C++ (originally named "C with Classes") in 1983

I've heard that it was originally designed with educational use in mind, but yeah, I blinked when I read that too.
