Dont Get Left Behind – Reach your Goals
According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), 86.5% of all students graduate high school. What happens to the other 13.5%? Gone are the days when you could get by without a high school diploma. Most jobs today require at least a high school diploma for consideration.
If you don’t graduate from high school, you will experience lower income and limited opportunities. A high school diploma is important because it requires certain skills that are also basic skills for most jobs, such as regular attendance, social ability, math and reading comprehension, and more. It also is a necessary stepping stone for further education, such as a vocational school, college or university.
Many people face situations that prevent them from completing high school and getting their high school diploma. These circumstances shouldn’t stop them from reaching their goals. There are options available to them.
Online High School
Online high school can open the door to many students that previously had no educational options. It is a resource that can be used to fill many unique academic needs, as well as ordinary ones. It is simply a more convenient alternative to traditional high school.
Learning through the computer enables you to tailor your online high school education to meet your needs. You will take math, English, Spanish, and history courses. You will have regular assignments, quizzes and tests. The difference is that you are in control of your education.

Thankfully, at your age your skin is very elastic….that’s the good news! The bad news is….you’ve got to get out there and just do it! Set those goals now of what you expect 6 months or a year down the road and you’ll be so glad you did.
Good luck!

Basically yes it is, as long as you do it right. You need to lose fat and tone up SLOWLY, over time, that means eating healthily and excercising, and NO crash or fad diets.
For a healthy diet, you need to be eating small to medium meals regularly. 4 or even 5 times a day. Each meal (apart from breakfast which should preferably be fibre rich), should contain a balanced ammount of carbohydrates for energy, (from potatoes, rice and pasta, etc) protien (from fish, chicken, occassional red meat is fine, soya is good too) and plenty of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants (simple fresh fruit and veg). Eat like this and make sure you are well hydrated (fruit juice is as good as water, any fluid counts, but some fluids have negative effects too, such as alcohol or caffiene rich drinks.)
You can have a wide range of healthy meals with this, from Thai, Chinese, Italian, British, Indian, etc. Just make sure each meal contains balanced ammounts of these three. On the bright side too, fresh veg and rice and pasta is a lot cheaper than crappy junk food!
This doesn’t mean you cant have chocolate or pizza/takeaway/etc, just save them as very occassional treats.
The big secret to keeping a healthy weight and staying healthy is EXCERCISE, particularly cardio excercise (running, swimming, cycling, etc).
Cardio exercise will not only burn calories and reduce your body fat levels, but will also improve your resting heart rate and lung function, making you healthier.
Strength training will help you strengthen and tone your muscles. Heavy weights with short reps/sets will build your fast twitch muscle fibres and build size, power and strength, but if you use light to medium weights with lots of reps/sets, you wont build size, but you will tone up your body and train muscle endurance. This will obviously make you ‘look’ healthier and more toned, but will also increase your metabolism (as your muscles demand more energy) so you will burn calories faster.
As far as excercise goes, you should aim to strike a balance between cardio training and strength training, this way you will build good strong and toned muscle, but also keep your body fat levels down and increase your heart and lung performance, making you much fitter and healthier.
