Pretty much the exact message I have given my son his whole life
Yes, the world is full of idiots. Yes, in HS the idiots tend to be the top of the food chain. But most of those idiots peak in HS (some earlier) and if you focus on doing the right thing (all the things you mentioned), the last laugh will be on them.
The greatest compliment I ever received was when my son was a Jr in HS. He was dating a girl who was the oldest daughter of a family farmer. They went on a mission trip to an Indian reservation in ND, re-roofing houses and stuff. When they came back, her father came up to me and told me that my son was one of the most useful people he had ever met. Not only that but after they graduated and we moved away, he called me and asked if my son could come live on their farm for the summer and work for him.
