Answers:
Well you are doing a great deal but that isn't instantly a bad thing!. In fact, in light of the problems with you Parents and elsewhere it is likely a good thing to stay busy!.

The most important thing is how YOU feel!. If as you say you are happy with it and don't feel tired and stressed then I wouldn't worry too much!. Chances are you are coping fine and some people can be busy and happy!.

I would just ask yourself why you are doing all these things, of they benefit you and make you happy!. As long as it is truly yes then all is good!.

If however you are doing all this to avoid your Parents and to feel wanted then I think you should look a little deeper!. I'm sure deep down your Parents don't "Hate you"!. Just if they are splitting up they are likely in bad places and are emotionally stressed!. This will in turn affect you and will colour your feelings and views on life!. But remember you have your own life to lead and don't carry all their negative baggage around with you!. Eventually they will work themselves out and move on and you have the rest of your life to prepare for!.

I would perhaps list what you like the most on that list in priority order so if you do drop anything you know what to keep and let go!. I would maybe consider making Sunday a complete rest/fun day and spend it with positive people like your Boyfriend!.

Just be honest with yourself and take each day as it comes!. If you start to flag and feel bad then ease up and change things!. Otherwise do what you want and enjoy!.

Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It all depends on whether or not you can cope with such a massive schedule and coping with the consequences that your schedule has on others!. You say your parents hate you, do you feel that way because of the effect your timetable has on them or do you keep yourself busy as an avoidence method due to other difficulties with you parents!. The best thing to do is talk to these people who support you and show them you care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

hey Bee the only person who knows if its to much is you!. I suggest you try make it up with your parents and talk to them!. If it is getting to much for you and you do want to cut back on something i suggest you cut back on work you can always get another job in the future but your education is important now!. You don't have to neglect your boyfriend or your friends because they can help you relax but they should understand that you got a lot on your plate!.
I hope every thing works out for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yep, I`d say you are taking on too-much!.!.!.!.You are a "work-a-holic" in embryo!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, some people thrive on being constantly active, so you may just be one of these types of people!. But even if you are, it does seem to me that you are staying a little more active than what is healthy!. It seems to me that you are staying so constantly busy so that you can avoid the other stress that you have in your life, such as your family breaking up!. I think the best thing you could do is find a teacher, counselor, or other staff member at your school that you trust and feel like you can confide in and tell them about your problem!. They would be in the best possition to help you since the school faculty would be able to pull you out of any school programs that are too much for you to handle with no negative repurcusions!. They would also be a good person to talk to about the problems with your family!. And no matter what your parents will never hate you!. Your parents are human and will sometimes lash out at the people around them if they feel overwhelmed with life, but they are probably doing it without realizing it and if you talk to them about it then I'm sure that they will appologize to you!. I couldn't suggest anything for you to cut from your schedule because I don't know how important each of those things you do are!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like you need a breather!. Let me first begin by saying that your parents do not hate you and if they are breaking up it has nothing to do with you nor do people's deaths!. Death is simply a part of life!. Please remember that you are not even 15 and yes you have too much on your agenda!. I understand the need to be a well rounded student but within reason!. One sport, one art, and one academic extra-curricular activity are more than enough to keep you busy!. If it is not truly necessary for you to work then you should let that go!. You have long work years coming in the future trust me there is no need to rush that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
