Wait until you're 21. Learn some English grammar and math before that happens.

If you want to make a living of your knowledge, sadly you'd have to walk down the web bullshite road, since it's going to be the only relevant thing in the next 5 years. You could also learn Java/C#/SEPPLES and maintain badly written ENTERPRISE legacy code and get hypertension, stress, depression and anus cancer while you're at it.

Thanks
So it's back to the web development since anus cancer doesn't seem like a pleasant experience
And I'll learn more math and grammar.
I'll get back to learning python after i get good with the web stuff

You're on a right track. Master those languages first, then venture off to lisp and haskell next. There shouldn't be a specific language that you "stick" to, as each has its own sweet spots, strengths and weaknesses. As you learn different languages with different paradigms, you'll expand your horizon and you'll be a better engineer. In 20 years time you'll reach satori.
