We don't want to discourage you from learning to code — in fact, we deeply value your curiosity! But we must follow legal rules and cannot make an exception for you, because everyone involved could face consequences otherwise. You can and should learn to code differently and find alternatives before reaching GitHub once you are old enough. Please refer to our [Terms of Service](/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service) for details regarding account termination.
