thaks erikido23. what do u think my mainmistake is?
French is difficult, but very strong if you get all the book lines down. However, you also have to understand the reason for every move in the book lines because their implications last for a very long time (for example, how do you plan to activate the light-square bishop?).
I believe the French is definitely not for the faint of heart, but mastering it will give you an edge. Kudos for attempting it- personally, I try to play Petroff against 1. e4, so clearly I'm not as ambitious when choosing an opening. Good job for giving the French a try!
i generally play ruy lopez but i thought of playing french but ididn't see that coming

Your main mistake I guess is castling...We can put it more clearly that your danger radar was broken...It will take lots of time seeing lots of different attacks and practicing defending against them to get good at it. But, if you start noticing that you are about to get crushed you will be improving (I am not joking)...First you have to recognize threats before you can start responding to them. Once you start to see the attack coming early the attack isn't so dangerous

Your "final" mistake has to be 9...h6, since you are then lost due to the tactics after 10 Qh5.
Hence, 9....g6, though not enough to equalise the game, offered much more resistance.
As pointed out, 4...bxc3+ and 7....Nc6 should be improved upon for the future.
Also, instead of taking the bishop on move 12, you could have tried 12....g6 but after 13 Qh3 with Bg5 coming, it's terrible for black.
haha, I am tired. Don't know how I didn't notice g6

You can't play certain defenses casually (believe me, I have tried and learned that lesson the hard way). The big three I'd say are French, Sicilian, and, depending on your level, Scotch Game. In French, always leave room for c7-c5. Of course, once you reach 2000+ in rating, you can play anything you want because your positional skill will be much keener.
I think my most casual mistake was not playing c7-c5 in the 9th move. Also h6 was a mistake. I didn't see bishop sacrifice and also last combo of knight. Anyway i think i shall not play french again. Thanks for the advice to forbade trying so many things in the tournament
