 I am around your age, I have a job, I am helping to provide for my mother and my sisters and I still need to act on my plans for my education. It sounds like a lot but it is a lot easier than it sounds. As you progress through life, a lot of things may seem daunting at first but, it is alright as long as you do not make foolish mistakes like get drunk all the time or find new drugs to get high with. If you are determined, it you are willing, life is easy.
Confucius once said "It does not matter how slow you go, as long as you do not stop"
I hope that helps.

As actor James Cagney once said "Say what you believe, and believe what you say."
That pretty much sums it all up. Be honest, be a good person, work hard and listen. You don't have anything to worry about until you start to rebel, or you come off the tracks.

It's not really that scary once you get there, I know it probably feels that way right now, but once you get there and then to nineteen, you will ask yourself why you are so worried.
I'm sure your parents will be there for you to help you with the transition to legal adulthood.
Obey the law.
Don't smoke or drink around people under the age of eighteen and don't sleep with anyone under the age of sixteen.
Good luck.
