That's pretty smart considering you're underage.
You might be from a different generation but to clarify,
on forums we use the term "PM" aka private messages not DM (which is a live chat thing from places like Discord or Twitter) . You are not obligated to respond to any private messages except those from administrators such as if we are communicating to you an infraction or something. We discuss these privately primarily to avoid embarrassment and peanut gallery comments.
Once again welcome to the forums and no worries. I wasn't quite a teenager when I started in the hobby myself but I was close (19).
I understand how it can be getting overwhelmed with these things and if there's any questions or concerns you may do that.
I'm the system admin of this site. Private security technician, licensed locksmith, hack of a c developer and vintage computer enthusiast.

Technical problems should be sent my way.
