You're already doing above and beyond what most people do, so keep it up. Focus on the studies, gym in that order. Even when I was in highschool I made the best of it and waited for it to pass. It's such a small world, focus on making yourself the best you can. Find out your weaknesses and try to overcome them by stepping out of your comfort zone. Women will always be there. Don't forget to be a kid and enjoy yourself along the way, just don't get arrested.

Should I be ignoring girls and focusing on myself?

When it comes to planning your day/week, yes. But there are plenty of opportunities to talk to girls in the course of your regular activities. Take advantage of them.

Or should I try and improve my social skills but not get any further than that?

You should always try to improve your social skills. When you talk about "get[ting] any further than that", sex shouldn't be your end goal at this point. Keep lifting, talk to people, learn when you sound charming and when you sound autistic. Learn from your mistakes but don't dwell on them.

If you do the above, once you get to university you will have ample opportunity to have sex.

If you're aiming for Oxbridge, fuck everything else and just keep studying. Make sure to keep a few stress relievers though (sports, etc). I'm also doing my A-Levels (year 13, 18M) and have not been distracted AT ALL this year. Trust me, not that hard. Keep studying and good luck with Oxbridge.

I'm one year older than you.

Ask yourself what you truly want.

Just don't make the same mistake I've been making (and still am really often) of not knowing what to do with my life.

Set goals, and be accountable to yourself. I often set goals, and 2 days later I get back on my old habits.

You need to truly know what you want, otherwise you'll never be persistent in your goals. Call it motivation, if you will.

But motivation is fleeting. Often what you really need is discipline.

I would tell you to focus on yourself and neglect women, but it's easy falling into the monk mode trap where you stay in monk mode as an excuse (it's all in your subconscious) of not going out and fail.

Never aim for women when you are not on your mission. You feel it if you are on your mission. You could spend hours on it and do not give a fuck about women. That's all it matters.

How do you find your mission? That's the hard part. It takes time, practice and lot of action. Do stuff. Go to courses, try new hobbies, and so on.

I'm going to be honest and tell you that I'm still looking for my mission. For example, I love fitness and everything related to it (bodybuilding etc.). It would be natural for me to focus on building a career in the fitness industry. The problem is that you need to consider not only if you like something, but if it can provide you a good amount of $$$ and if it's a convenient market. Honestly, fitness is not one of those.

That's why I'm trying to find something else which could be more profitable. And you should do the same, in my opinion.

Forget all the hyper specific advice about game, college, or social skills. Those are great but at your age that’s not what really matters. That’s not the core fundamentals.

You work on yourself, seek mentors, surround yourself with alphas, develop the version of you that thinks and acts independent of your parents and peers. Improve yourself towards the person you want to be. Accept that this is all a process and who you want to be now may not be who you want to be in 5 years. The important thing is to be moving forward. Stay away from drugs and things that bring you down. Avoid drinking to excess. Don’t fuck a girl and get her pregnant. Avoid the life traps.

Other than that just try new stuff, play sports, flirt with girls, have fun, hang out with friends, and don’t be afraid to just be a doer and learn something by trying and failing.

You’re doing great just coming here in the first place. We’d have a lot less betas out there if more kids were willing to have the balls to seek our knowledge at your age.

Focus on doing what is best for your future. Believe me, this won’t go unnoticed for long.

Start spinning plates. The earlier you get good at chatting girls up and escalating them the better. Girls your age definitely want to fuck and there is a dearth of masculine men your age around them, should be easy for you if you even have a modicum of game. You'll probably run into a lot of virgins too at your age, know that they might get a bit atttached if you take that from them, so I'd probably not take it unless you would be willing to girlfriend them.

Taking care of your body and mind comes first though for sure.
