Thank you for your question. I am glad to hear that you are interest in programming. Would you like to develop your career in Tech?
Below are my suggestions:
1. Take the ICT lessons in high school
2. Choose a simple programming language to start, e.g. Python, Scratch, etc.
3. Find the resources online to learn the syntax and structure
4. Start doing your own programming and do some small projects, e.g. control a toy car, robot, etc. Practice makes perfect!
5. After you familiarize with one programming , you can learn another programming languages
If you would like to develop your career in Tech, you can consider to take Computer Science course in the college.
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

If your high school doesn’t currently have any programming courses, I recommend researching online colleges for programs. Many are open to you before you graduate high school! As far as having opportunity after high school, the best way to accomplish that would be to find something you really feel you’re passionate about. Try as many things as you can while you have the freedom to.
As an adult, responsibilities will really get in the way of taking chances to the same degree you’re able to now. Use the extra time to explore as many interests as possible!

I'd also add try to gain deeper understanding of how data is used and manipulated in programming. Learning about data structures like, array, stacks, queues, graphs, sorting data would help a lot.
Additionally, if you have the opportunity to learn more about the mathematical aspects used in programming, e.g., statistics, set theory, linear algebra, calculus, etc. that will help you building a solid foundation and enable broader opportunities for you.
For introduction to certain basic concepts, you may want to go through https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-programming as well.
