You lack structure and you're all over the place. Kind of like listening to some one rambling. But than again, I was not much better than you at your age. Start grabbing individual notes to tie all the rest together. Most of all, keep a steady, consistent beat, something of which you did not do at all in the video.

If your harmonica is made of wood, which it sounded like it was, soak it in a glass of clean water for about 15 minutes. Than take it out and blow the water out.

Good luck!

Now that you have blown the water out, start playing and bending single notes near the lower register. Than start to add more and more notes, all while frequently returning to single note. You'll have a blast!

Warning, though harmonicas are stainless steel, it will start to rust real bad after about a year or so. Thus, you pay a price for the awesome sound you get from soaked harmonic each time before you play it. The water makes the harmonica real tight, thus you need less air to play it. :-)
