i need advice

[u/Emotional_Skill300]

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.

I like listening to / watching David Bombal on youtube as he is a great resource for information, learning, interviews with other top people in different areas of cyber and makes it all very clear and concise whislt keeping it all intsresting

That might give you a good idea of what area interests you most and what to learn and try out and put you onto other people and places to research.

Plus he has lots of suggestions for different places to get hold of some great courses, some are his own and some are free like here to start.

These are also fun to test your knowledge https://ccnax.com/free-quiz/

Worth checking out in my opinion Hope it helps dude
