Without knowing where you live or your age here are some general ideas:
•Tactics! While the trainer here is okay I would recommend going to chesstempo.com
•Head to the local library and find the chess section (794.xx in the dewy decimal system) write down the names of all the books, then head home and look up their reviews on Amazon. Check put the good ones, avoiding old (30+ years) opening theory books (but old games collections & biographies are generally heart to learn from).
•Focus on the end games. Knowing what you should aim for is key for the mid game.
•Join a local chess club. Quite often they have nights for training juniors, swallow your pride and join these classes! OTB play is very different to the net, learning to look at a real chessboard is harder than you think!
•Set your seeks to have a minimum floor 100~200 rating points above yours. Playing better players is better for your learning.
•while bullet has its place I'd recommend playing game with longer time controls. Minimum of 5+0 or 3+2.
Annotate your own games, without the help of a computer, than turn it on. If you find this too hard one idea is to use the computer analysis here on lichess, but cover up the line graph, note how many blunders you made, then try and guess which of your moves were the blunders (and suggest something better!).
•I won't comment much on opening choices, other than to suggest choosing openings that expose you to a wide variety of positions/plans.
