Take whichever interests you more. I’m currently taking both and at my school they are of relatively equal rigor. It’s actually easier to get a good grade in econ because our stats tests are very short and weighted as a large percentage of our grade.

There’s nothing wrong with having to teach yourself from the textbook, in my opinion. If anything, it is good practice for college level courses. Don’t let something like that stop you from taking the class.

Since you’re already taking a math class, I would probably lean towards econ if I were choosing only one of the two. But if you are more interested in statistics, take that! If you feel like you can handle both and still have time for extracurricular activities, go for it. You know your own situation the best!
