Like Underwater Ophelia said, don't stop writing. But, if you're really serious about improving your writing, befriend a literature teacher and ask for tips, advice and nudges in the right direction. If you have Advanced Placement teachers, or anything of the sort, try those first. Nothing against lower level teachers, who can offer very good advice as well, but AP teachers tend to know more about a specific subject, rather than just general knowledge pertaining to it. Though, this is all just from my experience. My writing improved dramatically during my AP class. I hated the class, hated the teacher, but learned more than I ever have from another lit teacher.
