MODERATORS
The adults around you don't expect anything more from you than for you to be a teenager. When I was a teenager, I spent a lot of time comparing myself to others. Because many teenagers are smarter, more diligent, accomplished, friendly, etc. that no one would ever want to pick me. When really all anyone wants from you is for you to be on time, polite, and ready to learn. They'll figure out something for you to do. Every adult around you was once a teenager who knew nothing until someone showed them how to do a job.
