One of my favorites:

“Look at you. You’re young. And you’re scared. Why are you so scared? Stop being paralyzed. Stop swallowing your words. Stop caring what other people think. Wear what you want. Say what you want. Listen to the music you want to listen to. Play it loud as fuck and dance to it. Go out for a drive at midnight and forget that you have school the next day. Stop waiting for Friday. Live now. Do it now. Take risks. Tell secrets. This life is yours. When are you going to realize that you can do whatever you want?”

Think about ANY SINGLE PROBLEM that you have right now. ANY SINGLE THING that you're worrying about. In five years, is it gonna matter? She doesn't call you back, or she thinks you're an asshole, or some dude is shit talking you or spreading rumors, so what? In five years you'll never have to see any of them ever again. Much shorter amount of time for most of you.
I'm in college now and I can honestly say that when I look back at my high school career the things that stick out to me more were the amazing times, or the times I felt myself growing. I didn't have the best high school time. I didn't have the worst, but I wasn't top dog for most of it (I did well for myself, but towards the end).
So relax. Take it easy. This shit doesn't matter. Get good grades so that you have OPTIONS for yourself, not because you're SUPPOSED to or so you can get a good job and be an automaton. Get good grades so you can leave college and do literally whatever you want with your life thats gonna make you happy. But for now, none of this matters.
Let yourself be shameless. Dance on a table. Sing a song in girls faces. Don't apologize for anything that you meant to do. So many guys in the pickup community are WRACKED with fear. Fear that they're going to bomb an opener, fear of approaching at all, most of all, theres fear of a woman. I listen to some kids who have studied RELIGIOUSLY how to "neg" a girl, or how to "bring them down to your level." That's disgusting to me.
Why would you want to bring them down at all? THAT'S FEAR. THAT'S FEAR OF A WOMAN.
What did yo momma do when you were afraid of something as a kid? She took away it's power. "See no reason to be afraid of the closet, theres nothing in it!" "No reason to be afraid of the bee, its more afraid of you!" "No reason to be afraid of the hot girl, here make her feel shitty, and then shes no better than you!" Why would you want to live in that kind of fear?
Second of all, you shouldn't be bringing ANYONE down. You should be so filled with high octane fun that you're making everyone else around you feel good. Fun is contagious. Do I really need to explain to you WHY YOU SHOULD BE HAVING FUN?!
This stuff isn't about being an AFC, or an rAFC, or a PUA (or any other dumb fucking acronym. really guys. lose the acronyms. thats not real life), or a natural, or getting laid.
It's about making you into the person that you want to be so you can live the life that you want to live.
Take a shot. Grab a beer. Win a fight. Lose a fight. Smoke a joint. Call that girl you've been meaning to call.
Get shot down a thousand times. Pick yourself up a thousand and one times. You're young, what the fuck do you care?
You only get one life
