When and if you go to college, please try not to carry all the high school drama with you. You will find that high school drama decreases as you get older.
Oh, and never try to read five chapters for a test in one night. It is not fun.
And stay up while you can. That also gets harder to do as the years go by. :-)

These are the only pieces of advice that have panned out over the years,,,,
Good luck with them
1) if someone is determined to give you money without strings attached, take it.
2) Its not comfortable to sit on a fence with a picket up your butt. Pick one side of the other, the fact is, most decisions aren't really all that important after we have lived with them a while (In regard to making a choice when feeling indecisive, and feeling stuck)
3) Keep your integrity intact no matter what and you wont have much to regret.
4) don't spend more than you have, and always save SOMETHING. It adds up over time.
5) always have at least one person in your life who knows you well
6) the meaning of life is to live it.
Those have served me well.
Best of luck

You can't make everybody happy all the time, so do what makes you happy and don't worry about getting other people's approval. It is next to impossible. Do what you want to, be true to yourself, and you will have no regrets. Don't get married or go to school or have kids just because everyone else is. It doesn't matter if you were popular in high school for the rest of your life. Just be you. Marry for love and nothing else. Find a job you can be passionate about. It is possible. Happiness is all in your attitude. No one walks all over you without your permission. Stand up for yourself.

Find employment that you enjoy, experince many things in your life, dont get married or have kids right away. travel, be generous, with time and material things. think before you act,
remember that everything you do will have many effects. take chances, (after thinking things through a little) love somebody, be patient.
And just the fact that you are asking this question at your age, Shows that you already possess a good bit of natural wisdom!

think about the effects on others of your actions, before you act (or react).
don't over spend, in money, hate OR love.
always know that how you treat others reflects on the person that you are.
life should always be taken seriously, not so seriously that you forget how to live, but seriously enough to be responsible.
love often and live well. tell the people you love how you feel, and moreover, show them. be respectful of yourself and of the lives around you.
don't be in such a rush that you ruin the life of someone you will never know...slow the car down, etc ...
always be true to yourself and don't be too judemental of others. Unless you know what they have been through, are going through or where they are headed, you have no idea and aren't qualified to judge. most judges aren't qualified to judge.
go to college, but don't rely solely on your degree. (and pay your student loans on time!!!)
spend as much time as you can with your grandparents.
try to fall in love every day.

this is a new phase in your life. arm yourself with inner strength and wisdom to know what is right and what is wrong. remember that your "choices" in life will shape your future. friends will come and go but your family will always be there for you. the best of luck!
