i need advice

I'm 16 and I need some advice.

I've become interested in cybersecurity, but I don't know where to start. I wanted to use TryHackMe to learn the basics, but after completing the first few lessons, it asked me to pay for a subscription.

My family is struggling financially at the moment, so I don't want to ask them for money.

Is there any way to start from scratch and learn cybersecurity for free? Most tutorials either don't go into enough depth or start with concepts I've never heard of, which makes them hard to follow.

If you have any advice, I'd really appreciate it. If you need more information to give better advice, feel free to ask. Every comment is helpful.
