Answers:
marbear,

Okay, you are a little young to have to whole world resting on your shoulders!. Give yourself a break, okay!? Can you get to the school before it opens and tallk to your teachers!? Try to get to know them before hand!?

I cannot believe that there are parents out there who do not believe in therapy!. In my state, withholding any recommended medical or psychological treatment is child abuse!. Is there a school psychologist that you can talk to!? Does your town have counseling services for high schoolers!? Did your Doctor test you for the disorder, or do you think you may have it!?

If you get really good grades you will find enough money to go to college!. Even if your grades aren't real good you can get the money to be able to go, it may not be to your first colege choice, but you will be able to go!. Many Community Colleges are inexpensive but a workable solution for the first two years!. You get good grades there, they will transfer the grades and credits, and you may get aid at that point!.

Check out the FAFSA website at www!.fafsa!.ed!.gov/!. There are links on that site to other assistance and scholarships, too!.

I would focus more on outside activities rather than night school!. The colleges look for other things than your ability to be a bookworm!.

Get out there and really enjoy life!. There is a whole bunch of clubs and groups that do interesting stuff!. There is so much more to life than books!. I have three college degrees so I do enjoy learning, but being able to use what you have learned is cool too!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's good to be thinking about your future and your plans!. However, it's not healthy to you to worry about it constantly and become stressed out over it as it appears you are doing!. I don't know you, so I can't really say whether you have or don't have anxiety issues!. I really think anxiety is just an increased worry state!. I'm in my Junior year of college and as long as you're not loud and disruptive to the class or disrespectful, then they will like you!. It's more about you liking them if you want the honest truth!. The teachers at colleges are there to teach you, not befriend you!. I'm not saying that they are hateful, but they usually see every student as equals!. No, it's not stupid, you're just over analyzing things right now!. Take one day at a time, and one year at a time!. Enjoy your high school years as much as you can!. Enjoy your friends and the freedoms that you have!. As long as you study and do your work, you'll be fine grade wise!. Living on campus is typically less expensive!. Take it slow and take the time to plan things out!. But wait until your Junior or mid-Senior year!. There's no point in stressing about it right now!. Just relax some!. Yes, a 15 year old is too young to take night classes, but if your high school offers an early education course, then maybe you could take night classes through that!? I'm not quite sure how that works!. I hope everything works out for you and you can enjoy the last of your teenage years!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

It might be a little premature to worry about these things!. however rather than worry about that and make things worse, try to focus that anxiety in a positive way!. if you are worried that you are not taking the kinds of classes you need, start looking them up and fiind ways to accomplish that!. If you are worried about finances, begin setting money aside and getting an idea of what you need!. take all your questions to your school counselor- i hate to say this, but that's what they are there for!. good luck and just take deep calming breaths!.

In most states you need to be sixteen in order to drop out of day school and attend night school!.

Its not weird or even uncommon to be worrying about college sophmore year!. I am pretty sure I did too!. As someone with an anxiety disorder I can tell you that even though worrying comes naturally, try to block it out!. Do yoga, exercise, think happy thoughts, etc!. Basically, do whatever makes you happy because worrying all the time only leads to health trouble later!. Trust me on that!.

Try to focus all your energy on doing well this year and (if possible) put college thoughts on hold until senior year!. Believe me, a lot can happen/change in a two year period!. You'll know better where you're at what you will want when it gets closer to the point!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is definitely not too soon to be thinking about your future!. Thinking is different then worrying though!. Right now you shouldn't worry about all of those things!. Living on campus is a great experience and i would recommend it for at least the first semester!. The cost is something that everyone worries about, but there is financial aid, scholarships, and loans that will help you afford your education!.

My high school offered college courses with in the school but they also offered classes at a community college!. you had to have a certain GPA and be a junior or senior!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Do you have a counselor at school that you can talk to privately!? If so, I'd tell them about your anxiety and what you can do about it and get some help!. Unfortunately, your father isn't helping!. Just because you might go to a therapist doesn't mean you would be hammered with drugs!.

I have panic/anxiety disorder and I've been dealing with it a long time!. It went out of control so I had to take some meds and now things are alot better!. The panic isn't gone but it's at a level that I can function normally!.

I think 15 is too young for night classes!. Way too young!.

I also think you may be a little young to worry so much about college!. My own worries about that started at 16!.!.!.but yeah I can understand where you're at!. I know this is real easy for me to say but let me just try!.!.!.!.!.

*Don't worry about future grades because you have no idea what classes you'll be taking or any of that!. Worry about your grades when you're in school and taking an exam or you have a project or paper that's due!.

*I would live on campus mainly so you can be around people your age and have quicker access to the university and what is has to offer!. Save the living off campus until maybe your third year!.

*You may not get into the college you want!. That's ok!. Have a back up plan of other places you might want to go to or other things you may want to do (internships, community college, apprenticeships, travel, etc)!.

* Will you be paying for college!? If so, there is a ton of help with any college where they have financial aid and counselours there to help you figure out what you can afford!. You could also get a job as well as go to school!. But I would worry about that!.!.!.!.later!.


You're going to be ok!. PLease try not to stress so much!. And try to find a student counselor or college advisor to talk to! Www@Answer-Health@Com

not to worry
i have an anxiety disorder as well
and i worried about things in university too or well coming up to it
and i am in it now!.
and yo know what as soon as you overcome whatever your fear is or are challenged with it you realise how unbelievably stupid it is
do you realise that everytime you worry and that thing comes true you were either very far offf from the truth or the worry never occured at all
that is becuase anxiety is playing tricks on you it wants you to worry it wants you to check out things and cause you grief thats its goal
so dont let it!. win !. Www@Answer-Health@Com
