I know there is a lot of questions like this in this community but I need a personalized answer. I am 15 years old. I've always loved physics and always asks questions. My wish for learning physics dates back to 2016. Yeah that's right, I've spend two years just looking for the right resources. Another fact about me is that i love programming too. I started by learning math on April(i am considering the date just to be more specific) but i eventually stopped learning after a month or so coz i got stuck and no was there to help , i didn't like math then(i love it now) then i tried to learn programming but stopped because of similar reasons.
This cycle repeated again and consumed a year. When my school closed for summer vacations previous year i started to learn Python(after a month long research on which language to study), this time i had help. I continued and enjoyed doing so but i had to stop it because of my school studies and my parents wanted me to concentrate more on it(I've straight A's but that wasn't enough for them).
Another reason i was reluctant going back to physics was that i wasn't that good at math and to be honest i hated it, i thought it wasn't useful and no one was there to correct me. Another fact about me is that i am pretty much self -taught from Preschool itself other than going to school i didn't have any help in my studies from my parents or anyone. Math is a subject which need a strong foundation but i didn't have it and the teaching style in my school never appealed to me. I never read textbooks and appeared on exam by just learning it by heart. If you go to my math stack exchange profile you can see my question on how to get better at math that was just three month ago. I don't know if you would believe this(i had a hard time believing it) I've made big progress at math recently and i will continue to get better. All it took was a simple change in my mindset. I watched so many videos based on math like how is it the way it is and why does it make sense. I love math now and i think if i am going to start leaning math and physics now, i am going to reach my destination.
So let me get to the sole purpose of this question. It would really mean a lot if you guys gave me the right resources and what to learn and how to get from basic to advanced. I know i am asking a little much but if you only know how desperate i am having these ideas and not able to express or validate it. I want to know which topic should i study and the right resource for it(Books,videos,lectures, anything) I prefer books as it gives you the advantage of going beyond the borders and thinking about something in it whereas videos are pre-made and you are sticked to what the teach but videos are really helpful in many cases. Finally, I am completely aware that i am asking for a huge favor but I've nowhere else to ask. It would be really great if you created a map sort of thing.:)
P.S : Feel free to edit this, i am not much of a writer
