Second, you don’t want to peak in high school, so take solace in the fact that things are seriously not peaking for you right now.

Third, thank the Gods for your intelligence – I can’t tell you how many people who don’t understand that the phrase is "I couldN’T care less", not "I could care less". But you? You GET IT! I could fill a novel with how much those people annoy me, but I’ll stop.

Finally, watch the end of the movie "Little Miss Sunshine" – the part where the gay uncle (Frank) and the newly unmuted teen (Dwayne) are on the dock:

Dwayne: I wish I could just sleep until I was eighteen and skip all this crap-high school and everything-just skip it.
Frank: Do you know who Marcel Proust is?
Dwayne: He’s the guy you teach.
Frank: Yeah. French writer. Total loser. Never had a real job. Unrequited love affairs. Gay. Spent 20 years writing a book almost no one reads. But he’s also probably the greatest writer since Shakespeare. Anyway, he uh… he gets down to the end of his life, and he looks back and decides that all those years he suffered, Those were the best years of his life, ’cause they made him who he was. All those years he was happy? You know, total waste. Didn’t learn a thing. So, if you sleep until you’re 18… Ah, think of the suffering you’re gonna miss. I mean high school? High school-those are your prime suffering years. You don’t get better suffering than that.

If all else fails, go find someone who has a problem you can help with. Or hang out with a group of kids you used to think were freaks. You’re already out of your comfort zone, use it to give you courage.
