How do you learn chess?

So recently i got a chess.com account. and when i started playing chess infront of my class, they kept roasting me. they said i was playing the game wrong, messed up castling, and every move i did was wrong. this just shows how bad i am. so how do i learn new stuff?

(my first forum post, please do not make fun of me.)

Im sorry abt that dude. Srry 4 being a bully. Im so stupid. I shouldnt have done that. Whats worse is that this isnt the first time this has happened. Remember how i keep mentioning “Hugo”? Well he was the kid i bullied till depression. Also like i said my parents tease me a lot so rlly idk the difference between light teasing and bullying that much. Im rlly srry. Im tryna get the others to stop rn. Ya think i should threaten to give them a warning in the yappers gc?

Btw, don't play chess because of peer pressure. Only play it if you like the game, you are not going to improve if you are just doing it because of your friends and you don't like the game itself

I agree, the main thing is to enjoy the game. If you like chess, you'll get better at it over time. And if you play only because of pressure, then you won't get any pleasure from it.
By the way, here's https://perabet-tr11.com/ a great platform with a lot of interesting games and great prizes for winning, I play often and I really like it. I advise you to try it.

Watch GothamChess and Chess Vibes, they will teach you how to play good moves most of the time. Mistakes are inevitable, they are part of learning chess

Play, play, play. Keep up the good work!
