Welcome! Encountering Less Wrong as a teenager is one of the best things that ever happened to me. One of the most difficult techniques this site can teach you, changing your mind, seems to be easier for younger people.
Not understanding half the comments on this blog is about standard, for a first visit to the site, but you aren’t stupid; if you stick with it you’ll be fluent before you know it. How much of the site have you read so far?
Yeah, I mean from history, it shows that even when people think they’re right, they can still be wrong, so if I’m proved wrong, I’ll admit it, there’s no point holding onto an argument that’s proven scientifically wrong. :3
Hmm, I’ve darted around here and there, I’ve read a few of the sequences, and I’m continuing to read those. I’ve read how to actually change your mind. I’ve attempted to read more difficult stuff involving Bayes theorum, but it pretty much temporarily short-circuited my brain. Hahh.

Edit: I’ve read most of the sequence, Mysterious Answers to Mysterious Questions.
