Also can somebody send me a site that has everything to say at each time of prayer just to make sure im saying everything correctly thankyou

As' Salamu alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,

After going thru your post i cud not resist answering u, though Fear Allah's post and links had everything answered.

You are just 14 and Masha-Allah are worried of your family. Thats a very gud sign. I know a 8 year old younger girl of a family , who  first practiced salah and then send her elder brothers to mosque. Seeing them regular, her parents , alhamdullilah are very regular . In this way , whole family is now turned towards deen. Similarly i wish and pray that insha-Allah you too shall be granted such blessings by the grace of Allah SWT. But remember, u need to work out with patience. I really like children like you, who shall be a great asset to our society. Coming to your point that you have been praying for months. Achcha, before that let me discuss about the "Mistaike" u spoke of. Now, show me a single person, {Except Prophets}  who did not commit sin. We all do commit sins. It part of our fitrah. But as soon as we realise that, we seek forgiveness from Allah SWT. You must have gone thru the link of Fear Allah, wherein its explained as how are we to repent. With a firm decision that u are n't going to repeat that mistake, just move on with your life. Forget it. Whatever has happened is over. I remember reading the below lines, so am sharing this with u.

Islam requires us to submit ourselves to Allah, unconditionally: whether He gives or denies. You work lifelong to win His approval. When you experience ease, you thank Him, and when unease, you bear it with patience. You do not expect Him to find a job for you. But rather, you study, and study hard, pass out with good grades, then you send across applications, and hunt for a job yourself. Finally, when you find one, after a great struggle, you thank Allah for having got you a job.No, there is no way in Islam for someone to pray in a manner in which his wishes can be fulfilled, and quickly. Far from anything happening quickly, there is no guarantee anything will happen at all by way of fulfillment of wishes. Wishes will be granted in Paradise. Here, in this life, you put up efforts and wait for the results. If good, then good; if bad, then also good. All is from Allah. He does what He will. There is no way to coaxing Him into doing what the humans will, and that too at a quick pace.We have been asked to ask Him, and none else. But He has not promised to grant all that we ask, or even one of our wishes. Even Prophets were granted a mere single wish to be fulfilled in this world. (Our Prophet reserved his own for the Next World). Then, why do we ask? Well, we ask Him by way of worship and devotion to Him. We ask to demonstrate our belief in none but Him. We ask Him regardless of grants. Why? To show that we are truly devoted to Him, and are not doing business with Him: in a kind of give and take deal. Of course, He does grant, and does give. Did you have a meal today? Who gave it to you? Did you smile during the day? Who gave you that smile? Are you able to read these lines? Who granted the power of sight? It is Allah, the Bestower. Did you escape a stroke today? You did. Who saw to it? It is Allah. Did you end up in a hospital having eaten the food you did, the water you drank the air you breathed in? No, you did not. By whose intervention? Allah�s.He says, �Ask Me, I will grant.� What does it mean? It means ask none else. What about when you ask a false god? He still grants, such a Bestower is He. He grants, but hates him who asks other than Him.  So, when He says, �Ask Me, I will grant,� then, it means, �Ask not any other.� It does not mean �If you asked not, you will not get.� Nor does it mean, �You ask Me, and the thing will be right there for you to pick up on your way back home.� But rather, when He says, �I will grant� then it means He will grant in a way that suits His wisdom. A man may ask a raise in his income so that he can buy a vehicle to reach office in quick time. Allah grants him barakah in his time. He asks for a raise in salary to meet the cost of travel to a distant job. Allah grants him by getting notice of termination issued to him. The next job is near his residence. A man asks Him a raise in income so that he can meet with the cost of transport to the job site. Allah puts it in the heart of the landowner to demand vacation of his house. He rents another house. It is next to job-site. A man asks for raise in income to meet with the expenses of his travel to his job. Allah saves Him from an accident that was to happen. The amount gets adjusted. A man asks for a raise so that he might spend more in Allah�s cause. Allah responds by granting him a higher level of Paradise in the Hereafter, withholding it in this world because He knows that if given a raise, the man will go after the unlawful. You see, there are thousands of ways in which Allah grants in response to Prayers addressed to Him.  He will decide how He will grant. We remain thankful and forbearing in all circumstances, in all situations. Whatever comes is from Him. And whatever comes is good.

Whats life then, if all of our prayers are answered?
