Asking 'what type of bonsai' seems to indicate you think bonsai is a species. It is not. 名媛直播 is an art using certain techniques to create small trees looking like mature trees in nature.

This is a juniper, a young one, without bonsai qualities.
Junipers belong outdoors.

If you have a look here: www.bonsaiempire.com/inspiration/gallery and scroll to the bottom, you'll see a couple examples of great juniper bonsai... and other bonsai... if you consider the amount of effort that it took, and decades(!) or longer, maybe you can appreciate that some might not consider your young tree bonsai.

are all the tips brittle? or just the ones at the bottom? it is hard to tell from the picture if the upper foliage is still green... if the youngest foliage is not green and brittle, the tree has been dead for a while.

you can start here: www.bonsaiempire.com/tree-species/juniper
the most difficult part of juniper and other similar evergreens is getting the watering right... and that they should not ever be kept inside!!!!! and I mean ever... a couple of days for display is ok, but 99% of the time they need a lot of sun and to be outside.

looking at the picture again, your soil looks very wet... that could be the reason for the yellowing.

Old needes will dry out and die off at some point.
Is this plant outside? It shoudl be.
And, what Auk said. It has not much to do with bonsai. THat is not about ridiculing, but about the unfortunate unwelcome truth.Don't blame the messenger.

I didn't see anyone trying to make you looking ridicule.
I see some very useful and helpful answers, such as...
It is not a a bonsai yet, it is a young plant, it should be outside at all times, if the top is dry it is already dead, take care of the soil, don't water too much or too little.
And click on the link tubaboy provided to see some great examples of juniper bonsai.
