This is called high myopia. You should undergo yearly retina evaluation, to make sure & to detect early changes, if any, in retina. This is to prevent further damage if it is pathological myopia. This is determined by your genes. Maintain good general health & eye health. If suitable, after age 18, laser correction may be tried. Otherwise, reducing the power could be very difficult. Be positive. Checkup regularly. You will be fine.
