Another thing we talk about a lot here is conversation skills. Learn to talk to people who are outside your group of friends. First, I believe it will make you more well-liked in your school if you are friendly to the various groups of students, but it will also prepare you for meeting people outside your comfort zone for years to come. I'd say "learn to talk to strangers" but you're still young, and of course you have to be careful about that. How about if I say "learn to talk to strangers who are your own age!"

But first and foremost, enjoy high school, get involved, including leadership roles, keep your grades up, and try not to focus too much on the far-distant future.

I bet almost every one of us oldsters would tell our 15 year old selves to just chill and quit worrying so much! If I were to talk to my 15 year old self, the biggest thing I'd say is to expand my circle of friends. By the end of high school I was so over all of them and didn't have a big enough circle to draw from.
