I was wondering if you can tell me what I can do to improve myself.

The mistake I often make in discussions is to throw in half-remembered facts and arguments from sources I may not recall. Then I sometimes end up having to apologize and correct myself. This does not look good.
So study your sources of information carefully and remember where you found them, as has been pointed out already.
This is not just important for discussion. You learn a lot too, which is important in life.

Learn to spot people who use master suppression techniques:

"You are 16 years old and obviously have no clue about scripture or the Christian faith. If you want to know what we're all about we'd be happy to share but you have to humble yourself and keep the insults to yourself."

The best way to deal with this in the cloud, in my opinion is to simply ignore people who act like this. Don't respond to them at all I say.
