HTML and web programming is pretty simple. But if you want something sorta like scratch but more advanced, try Alice.

What else is good if I am younger than 12?

HTML is still pretty good, maybe BASIC...

What should I do exept from html

HTML is not a programming language, but yes, go with BASIC, or spend the next few years learning Objective-C.

Yes

bash, the language you can find through the terminal

you can use it in the app named terminal

it is already installed at /applications/utilities/terminal

To write a script
1:) Make a script in textedit
2:) save it with the extension .sh
3:) go to the terminal
4:) drag the script from finder onto the terminal window

Objective-C is not hard at all!!!!! It took me about 2 months to get pretty good at it. I don't know everything but I am pretty good with it.

C++, you can do ANYTHING

Not on a mac. C++ on mac isn't used outside of Objective-C++,  a mash of obj. c and c++ which is a pain in the...uh head. It is used in a 15 year old API designed to make compatible programs between mac os and osx, which apple will probably discontinue soon.
Edit: I mean apart from just making command line programs(Which can't use the powerful apis already in place) and CGI programs.

I would recommend learning ruby and c, both very easy languages to learn, then learning obj. C, which you can use to make programs with a GUI, in other words are in windows and not the command line like C or Ruby. Out of those 2, ruby will be the hardest to learn because it is completely object oriented, but there are hundreds of good explanations on this, I can give you some that would relate to scratch if you have trouble with it.
