Is it normal to only be able to cook pasta?

I am 14 and I can only microwave frozen pasta. If I am alone at home and try to cook, I forget about it and once I nearly caught the house on fire. Should I give up?

I tend to get distracted when things have to cook for a long time, and I have a good solution - at least it works for me: set a timer - your stove probably has one, and when it goes off, you'll remember that you're cooking something! I always set a timer when I'm baking or cooking something that could potentially burn, even if it's just boiling water that could all boil away and destroy the pan!
