Java... I started with Java myself when I was a teen. It's not a good idea.
I think Java is still a good language for beginners. The tooling around it is really good and it catches lots of issues at compile time.
I'd recommend Python or JavaScript to beginners. Also, Java is dying out right now.
Java is absolutely not dying... unfortunately. Billions of people depend on spaghetti code written by corporations every day. I think Java will be the next COBOL. It won't die and it's unfortunate.
