Hello and welcome! It’s great to have you as part of the community. I agree with the other commenters that investing in your own wellbeing and future at this early stage is a good idea. For example, I’d encourage you to look after your physical and mental health; do your best in your education; and explore different career options, perhaps by listening to stories of people’s careers in the 80,000 Hours podcast. You can also encourage others in doing good by commenting on EA Forum posts and talking to your friends about your plans.
I think in high school I was really hard on myself, and if I could give my past self advice I might say that it’s also good to be caring and kind to myself—so that’s advice I’ll pass on to you too!
