Hi Mr. Kipper,
Being a teenager mostly sucks. I've already gotten through it, but I hate to see people like you struggling. The only thing I can tell you is that parents never get it, I still say stupid stuff without thinking about it, you get less shy as you get older, I drink a can of coke a day, I'm no super-model, I am the jedi-master of procrastination when it comes to uni work (similar to school work), and I feel bad for what I do a lot of the time. So you're not alone!!
The good thing is, it's your life, not anyone else's. In the end, it's you who chooses what to do, and it's you who gets the benefits of it. I can't say much about your parents, but you'll always say silly things here and there - Everyone does!! It's just that maybe you are being a bit too hard on yourself. Let yourself off the hook a bit, you got a lot going on and you don't have much energy left to think about what comes out of your mouth!!
Also, sugar isn't the worst. Maybe when you're 35-40 it will be terrible, but we're young and our metabolism is pretty good at the moment, so I say who cares!! If it's having an impact on your health then sure, maybe try cutting down on it. But if not, then just enjoy it while you can 🙂 Life can be pretty mean at times, so you may as well enjoy what you can when you can!
School work is boring and tedious most the time, so don't feel too bad when you can't focus on it. You can only do the best you can at the time, and no one can ask anymore of you. Remember that you know your limits, no one else does. Believe in yourself, and try to cut yourself some slack here and there. No one is perfect, and happiness is the most important thing. Try and do things that make you happy, and life will become a little more bearable 🙂
Good luck, and I hope this helps somewhat!
