Yes, everything in your life, even in your own behaviour and actions, will affect who you will become.
That said, there's pretty much no way to actually predict what the effects of what we do now will have on who we are later. There are certain aspects that have been researched well and show a certain, even reliable, degree of statistical probability. Even that, however, can turn out to mean nothing or, even, the complete opposite of what it should based on the statistics.
The majority, even the smartest, strongest, most talented, and whatever, are the statistics.
My advice: Make the choices that you truly believe will help you best in life. If you turn out wrong sometimes (and you will) don't let your pride get in the way even if it means you have to admit your parents were right (you don't have to tell them, though ;-) ). Just learn from the mistake. We learn more from and become stronger because of our mistakes than anything we do well.
And cliques determine nothing. I know people who were geeks in HS who are well-off, cool, and hot now (with no connection to computers and/or dungeons and dragons) and jocks and cheerleaders who are geekier than anyone they tortured in HS.

When you are in high school, you are trying out different friends, personalities, life styles to see which one is you. That is the time to try new things and adulthood is the time to live out your choice.
Also-It depends on if you had a good or bad experience in High School. Some people spend their whole lives trying to relive their experience in high school and others spend their whole lives trying to forget it!
Not all people turn out to be who everyone thought they would be in high School (see 'Peggy Sue Got Married') One of my firends was a Born again/Jesus Saves type and now she is a lesbian witch. Go Figure!

If you make good friends in high school you might stay friends with after you graduate.
High school is a time to explore your options in life, choose your values, and discover who you want to be.
You can change way you act after high school if you want to.
What you do today usually matters more than what you did years ago.

YES! I have friends who were real smucks in high school and are now pumping gas or working in dead end jobs with kids in their early 20's.
Those wise guy class clowns are the ones who laugh the least a few years after high school.

Act cool but try really hard at home. At home learn all the chapters you will learn next. Give the teachers a good impression of you. Remember your teacher's reports will go to the university you are going to go to. This can affect your career. Good luck.

it deffinately effects people, their personality, their values, but does not determine how they will turn out. People keep learning and changing long after high school, although it seems like some don't

Definitely. Teenagers are extremely susceptible to peer pressure, judgement, and humiliation. More so than adults, because they haven't figured out who they are and how they react to everything yet - most people either gain or lose their self confidence in high school.

I think you make choices in HS that will affect you, sure. The friends you make, how much you study, how hard you work. These things can lead to positives and negatives after HS is over..
The slackers I knew in HS are still slackin...
The hard workers are successful now...

It has been studied, and the way you act at 8 years old, is the way you will act as an adult,
