will someone mentor me?

Quote from TGpop:

im 16, have been trading live for 3 months now, after 1 year of demo, and right now am down 20% , im a swing/day trader and i've just been trying to buy dips in uptrends and short rallies in downtrends, that hasn't got me anywhere and i'm feeling pretty crap, after 1 year of good demoing to end up down 20% live,this is forex as well.
bloody hell this trading is hard, and i dont anymore have people to talk to/get advice from, whereas those i knew started off with some kind of mentor. i don't know what i am doing wrong in this business.

help!

At 16, your main focus should be on your school work, getting into a good college and earning a meaningful degree. Only after you have a solid career under your belt and are financially secure should you be concerned with trading the markets. Unless you are here trolling for entertainment, your post depicts a path of certain failure written all over it.

Harsh? Perhaps, but nonetheless, reality.

Good advice.

First get a solid degree, preferably Math, Physics or Computer Science.
And then trade for a living.
 
well the plan is to get a degree in economics and get a job somewhere related to trading (investment bank?)

now that you guys mention it though i want to trade to build up fortunes, not necessarily for a living, of course you need money to make money, so they say and i'm realising it more than ever now.

so guys, i am smart and i have gotten good grades in my latest exams, getting joint first across all economics exams :) . what jobs are there (apart from a trader) that are related to financial markets (i'd HAVE to work by the markets, i love it), aren't directly trading, and have a big ass salary £100,000+ (save up for a couple of years, then trade unagressively, 30% annual returns for 35 years gets a nice retirement)?
