I don’t mean to be insulting, but it sounds like you could really use counselling. I’m serious. I had plenty of stress, and my counselor helped me work through it. Have your parents made remarks about the whole selectivity thing? If so, I would ask them to tone it down, maybe with something like “In order to get into a good college in the future, I have to be focused on the now.” But again, I’m no professional, just a high school student. You should REALLY ask your counselor about this. I would also suggest picking up some kind of exercise hobby or yoga; I found it really helped with my stress.
