Okay, I am 15yrs old and my rating is 1405 (not on this website yet, but as a player that is what it usually is.) I Was woundering if anyone knows how i can get better. I try harder and harder everyday, but i never seem to get better. I learn opeings, Tactics, etc. So if anyone has any info to help, post a comment, thanks!

Your rating will probably always go up in fits and starts (not too often a steady progression).  It's a natural part of improving.  Just keep playing and practicing and studying...you'll see results, sooner or later.

Play a lot of slow games and analyze them all by head/hand! Solve tons of tactics problems.
