I'll not suggest you to learn C++ as your first language, because you say that you have absolutely no experience. I started learning C++ when I was at your age, and even though I had experience with other languages, I had really hard to learn it (maybe I was just dumb :-P).
The Python programming language is a very nice beginner language, imo. Easy to use, pretty good syntax, and you'll get a feel of what programming really is. When using Python you don't have to think about type-casting and stuff like that - Python will do it all for you.

If you really want to continue with C++, then try look at this:

The big thing with becoming a functional programmer in any language is your ability to solve problems. That's not easy to teach. Having said that, C++ How To Program is a very nice book to start off with. After that, you can start looking at The C++ Programming Language, but be aware that it will push you.
