Keep teaching yourself as much as possible. I never took an art class that helped me in my life and wasted lots of money trying to learn that and other skills that I could just learn on my own. The internet teaches you everything now adays or you can learn from people you meet who are better at something you want to get better at (I learned more from people in person, and from exploring the internet). I've gotten many well-paying jobs by just being very good at every little thing I love to do (websites, logos, illustration, photo touchups, costume design, music, etc). Find a job that pays your bills and you'll be surprised at how much money you actually have to do other things. When you start college, start by taking the classes that will excel you the fastest, not the ones that don't matter to you. And if you doubt the teacher's interest in your education to such a level that it holds you back, then transfer out to a new teacher before you waste too much time. These are things I had to live and learn. Establish good credit too, but only use it for emergencies. Good Credit on your name will get you a loan on your first self-employed business, ease with renting or buying your first residence, and a lot more. You do great with modeling and art, so strengthen those by working with others you know while you figure out the harder other life things on your mind. If you can plan one big event now, do it and stick to it. You'll be way ahead in so much, even though you will probably always have a shitload on your plate like I do. LOL! Believe it or not, I cant count the number of times I've hung out or worked with big names (not bragging but dreaming) and I am always close to getting big things to happen or running smack into the middle of them (currently on the verge of another one). ;) You're definitely high up on the food chain so don't let things pass you by.

aw.. i think you just need a hug :) everything will work out.. it always does ;)

I know I'm months behind on this, so I'm honestly not even sure how your schooling/etc is going, but I really do agree with Adrianne. And that's totally besides the fact that you're already a freaking great artist. Seriously, you, Caitlin, Liz, you all draw such amazing things, and then you look at each other's works and think (and I swear, I have heard this come out of each of your mouths) "But they're so much better, I can never do that!" If you're looking for art assistance/advice, and don't have the time/money to do FT school for it yet, it might be worth poking Nate Q or someone for help/tutoring/private lessons. I know he worked a bit with Caitlin on how to create a sense of motion in a human figure, so she might be able to give you an idea of how he does, but it's just a thought.
