Okay, I'm 16 years old. I score straight A's, I represent the country in sports but I'm not sure what I should choose to study. I am a very funny person, I'm a practical joker, I write a comic which my friends beg me to write more.. What if I wanted to be a comedian? I'm really not sure ;(
anyone got msn I can talk to for advice?

Well to be honest, it's great that you're so young and thinking about the future, but don't you think it's too early to be stressing yourself out over this?
You have plenty of time to figure out what you want to do, keep doing ur comic, keep working at it. But also look for new things u may like too

Don't limit yourself. Follow your heart and be happy. You can do or be anything you want ..all it takes is the effort. Dream big and don't be afraid to fail, it is in the failing that many great discoveries were made. Set your goal beyond what you think you can achieve, take positive steps each day in that direction and then marvel at your success! A lot of people out there will tell you that you can not make it, but it is them that couldn't make it...you go for your dream! I KNOW you WILL make it!! What have you got to lose? Somebody once said that we never regret what we do only what we don't do. Don't let your future thoughts begin with 'it might have been..' I remember this part of a saying 'Of all the words both spoke and penned, the saddest is " it might have been."

You can't properly decide what to do in life until you know something about life. Go to the library and read everything that disagrees with your opinions.
If you do want to be a comedian, read some of Steve Allen's books. He was funny, he knew what was funny and he knew how to think, something sorely lacking nowadays. Start with his book entitled, "Dumbth", a word which he invented:
Dumbth (pron. dum th) adi: a tendency toward muddleheadedness, or willful stupidity appearing in all segments of American life.

It's kinda hard to make it in show business (comedy or other) maybe a journalism or other creative writing avenue. With a personality like you say you have you can use it just about in any field of work. Good luck.
