I see a lot of poor angles, bad cropping and soft focus. I would give you an overall 3 because many of the shots are just copies of what everyone else is doing and offer no creativity of your own.(Enough with the Converse!) The rock concert with falling confetti is my favorite because you captured the mood in a difficult situation. That one gets an 8 from me!
 
You are a beginner at the craft. It is not much use to rate the photos from a novice photographer. Your photos are fine for your album, but share many common traits from beginners concerning exposure, focus, subject and composition. For one thing you have entirely too much tilt happening. Tilt is seldom beneficial to a composition. The sepia girl in the barn loft door was my favorite from your album. I also liked the sunflowers and sky. Things like closeup tree bark, eyes, piano keys and tennis shoes are entirely cliche and trite subjects that every 14 year old seems to shoot ad nauseum.. That doesn't mean you shouldn't shoot things that have been done many times, but they will not be amazing or unique. It is difficult to present such subjects in a unique or interesting way.

Here is my favorite link for beginenrs:

Begin learning some photography basics of exposure and composition. Be sure to study your camera manual as well to get the most from your gear. Join a local club or group or take a class. Visit the library or bookstore for a book on the basics. Look at lots of good images in magazines, books, or good websites (not Myspace etc) and study the lighting and composition. Keep learning and practicing. You have a nice start and will progress as your skill grows. Best wishes and happy shooting.
