I started learning how to program in my youth.
Learn how to make the computer do simple things, like print "hello world". Copy short games into your computer from books. Write up short choose-your-own adventure games. Take night classes. Do some scripting using perl and cron (write your own alarm clock!).
As for language, picking any simple one will do to get your feet wet. Learn how to read text, how to print text, how to write functions, and how to write if statements. That'll be enough to do something fun.
Once you are at that point, you'll want to start learning some computer science (algorithms etc). In addition to that, you'll want to pick up at least one other language, and learn the differences between them.
