People are getting smarter, eh? I mean, I didn't even know what a computer was at your age :) Keep it up! 10/10!
You should probably go to FAQ and read a little about filtering and brick stacking, those technics would help your font to look much, much better. But if you still want it to do with this setting, I think letters like B,M,R,W have some potential, that double stroke thing is really catchy, reminds me of a font I'm making right now.
It's great to see that younger people are getting into typography. It's an amazingly rich and satisfying field in which to learn and develop your skills ... I'm 69 years old and still learning!
One thing that helps, when you start out, is to aim for consistency - letter height ('X' height for Uppercase and 'x' height for lowercase) and line strength etc. (one example here is that your 'T' is shorter than the other characters in the Uppercase). It is also important to use the green 'baseline' and blue 'leftline as fixed points of reference for all your glyphs (characters). Once you have mastered the basics - then you can experiment to your hearts content :)

Here what I can suggest for starters:

For a first font this is good - so 10/10
