You should read, Robert Kiyoski's Rich Dad Poor Dad. My goal in life is to become rich and create a good cashflow so i can do anything that happens to interest me in life. Im not sure if you want to be rich later on or not, but never hurts to be more educated financially than your other mates around you. I would also recommend you get a job. Preferably a sales job where you meet ALL kinds of people and ultimately learn how to deal with them. Trust me, this will keep you occupied for awhile. Lastly, enjoy highschool and go for all the pretty girls and join groups/activities and dont be scared of rejection/failure. I wish i could have gone back to HS, I would have changed alot of things... I read this books too. Someone here who seemed much more knowledgeable on the subject told me that book is utter crap T_T. I also saw a thing on TV where they gave 3 college students 1000$ and told robert to help them profit in a week. None of them did.
yea, i took it as purely conceptual. it was definitely an interesting concept that i have never considered. I always thought that a job was your way to becomming rich. Always interested in what other people have to say.

My quote.
Dont kill two birds with one stone.
Bring a shotgun
And get all the birds
I applied for a job (the only one i found that would accept a 14 year old) and they rejected me

hahaha schones i got rejected by 2 times for the same job. here is my journey...
1st attempt, a local retailer was hiring, i decided to go there and request an application.
I was ignored by almost everyone in the store including the managers.
2nd attempt, the same local retailer was hiring, i decide to go there AGIAN and request an application. Luckily, they needed employees bad so the manager was really nice to everyone who showed up to fill out an application. I filled my application out and was waiting for an interview. I waited for 2 hours and out walks the manager and tells everyone that he was grateful everyone came out and will get back to them. I never got my interview like everyone else did...
3rd attempt, same store, same manager, same DAMN application. this time I had inside help. Another store employee was a classmate of mine and he dropped a line for me there. I came, I interviewed, I conquered. I worked the job for about a year and a half, ended up being the highest grossing sales person two quarters straight.
So its great that you are experiencing failure and defeat early on. You will experience much much more later. However, just go out to attempt it is what you should be doing with your life. Anything that really interests you or challenges you.

Youre 14/15. Thats entering high school. You got a few more years before you need to worry about that kind of stuff, and hopefully by then youll have enjoyed your high school years and figure out the kind of things you like to do and go down that road.

too bad for u cus from 16-18 girls become mega sluts . or all the ones i know

Your 14 going on 15, you have pretty well all your life ahead of you. Just do what you want to do while still maintaining marks at school high enough to get you into university. Once you get a feeling of who you are you can better establish what you want to do with your life, and as others said, changing your mind isn't a huge deal. I went to school to become a chef, finished school, now working as a banquet/line cook at a 4 star hotel. Its not a bad job but i know i cant stand doing it for the rest of my life, so I'm using it to pay my bills while figuring out what i want to do, and hell I'm 21, there are others here who are prob older than i am who will tell you similar things.
