Buy control wards often. You should always have one on the field and one in your bag as a support (as anyone really, but especially support). As a support, you don't have to worry about last hitting so that is one less thing to concentrate on. Use your concentration to keep track of enemy movements instead and ping whenever you see the jungler or a missing laner.
Help your ADC push to the enemy tower when they are gone. This denies them of both CS and EXP. After you reach the enemy tower, it is generally best to just go back and buy items. By time you get back to lane, the wave should be back on your side making you safer from ganks. From there, try to have your ADC freeze lane. By this, I mean tell them to only last hit and not push the wave. This forces the enemy to play out of position making ganks easy while also making you safer. The above advice is for every lane, but still is helpful if you actively do it.
No matter what people try to tell you about supports not being able to carry, just ignore them and build like a support. You don't carry by doing damage as a support. You carry by allowing your team to safely do damage. You should have either ruby sightstone and an upgraded support item or a sightstone/gold gen combo item every single game. By level 9, you should always have a sightstone and switch to oracle alteration. The rest of your build should probably have at least 2 of these items 
. All of them are cheap and provide a lot of utility to your team. Dealing more damage means nothing if the people on your team who are supposed to do damage are always dead.
If you want to climb buy a ladder.
Some really nice info provided here, thx to the community.
