Would it be better to learn C before learning any type of WEB and desktop programming?
I don’t know how to program, I want to learn Javascript and my friends suggested to me that I should learn C first.

No.
JavaScript may be one of the klunkiest languages ever, but it has one huge advantage over C: You can play with it. (I spent 10+ years coding in C. I had some fun, but I’d never call what I did ‘playing’.)
My suggestion: Open up your favorite Web page, save it to disk, open up the JavaScript (or download it, if need be), and play. You’ll learn a lot that way.
EDIT: Downvoters: Yes, there is a lot to like about JavaScript. But there’s also a lot not to like.
