I did badly in high school and ok in college, and still got a six figure job because I had natural programming talent. I had an enormous amount of fun in High School though. There are things you can do and get away with when you are a teenager that you will not be able to do for the rest of your life, so have a good time! Don't break your brain with sketchy drugs though. As the movie "The Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down"[1] states. There are "fun" drugs and there are "sketchy" drugs. Stay away from Sketchy drugs. Besides, going to a good school doesn't matter if you have no talent. You'll just burn out and get crap grades. Life at that stage is about figuring out the nexus of what your good at, what you like, and what you can get paid for. Trying to fit a square peg in a round hole is not a good strategy for this.
