A little more advice. Please note, nevertheless, that anything you try now will be a positive experience. I do not think, contrarily to others, that it's possible to get wrong the choice of first language. But in case you are daunted after reading very long starter tutorials for C++ and you were afterwards still lost as to how to create your projects, you may want to consider this.

Bear in mind that C++ is a systems programming language. You could start your learning with an application programming language, it will be easier and you will find many less pitfalls. Once you're comfortable programming, you'll be in a better position to delve into C++ or whatever if you like. You can go for C# or Java, which are part of the family and inherit a lot of syntax from C. In addition, C++ is also too vast and lacked a coherent design process, there are many different ways to do the same things, and everybody just ends up using a subset. A newbie will find it daunting to go through even the most superficial tutorial overview of the language. C++ is also dated and syntactically awkward.
