Stress, and etc.
I have so much on my plate right now. With the current school year ending soon i am applying for scholorships, running for vice-prez of my high school class, and dealing with all the extra school work. we have to write lots of essays, and do finals and stuff. I also have responsiblities at my church i am responsible for, and I'm cast in a play that will be opening in early june. Right now i'm also PMSing so i'm in physical pain with cramps and stuff and i'm in a really bad mood. I also get ance pretty bad sometimes... i use proactive, but right now i'm really breaking out and it's affecting my self esteem. i have too much to do each day, so i often dont get enough sleep. I also procastinate... alot. I have put soo much pressure on myself to get a 4.0 Gpa this sememster or at least mantain my 3.9, but i'm soo scared that i'll get below that. I'm a prefectionist and i get stressed easily. my room is a mess and i never have any time to clean it, so my parents are harping on me for that... and my other chores at home are lacking. I also feel like everyone in my life is changing, and becoming different. and i feel like i have no one to talk to. i'm going into high school next year, and i'm soo scared.. but i dont have anyone to talk to about it because i dont like letting people know my feelings, and i have trust issues when it comes to what i am really feeling and thinking. Anyways i just needed to get this off my chest and maybe talk to someone. and see if anyone has any advice about what to do to lessen my stress level, help me not procrastinate, stuff with my friends, and parents... or something. just umm help, please!!!! thanks soo much! i appreciate it, and this was long so thanks for even reading it!

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
i have a friend who is EXACTLY like you, exceot for the VP part. e-mail me @ (pey_mathews@yahoo.com) and i can pass you my friend's e-mail (not put here for security) and u can chat and ask her how she got through it.
Also: most likely, people are not changing, it's just you that is becoming more mature that you see them through a different view. if you feel like you don't have any one to talk to or you need to talk to someone new, find chat rooms online. they can be fun and they can't judge you about your "past". i do it as therapy :)
-good enough?

you shoul make a schedule for the week and thats all you do no changes, put in like the hours you go to school, when youwake up, the time you go to bed, homework, social time, ect. you could also try scheduling youga i hear its really good for stressful people. you could work on homework for other classes in classes that dont matter or are really easy.st ives face washes work really well for me. you could do like a 30minute therapest thingy(it is against the law if they tell anyone besides your parents i think)
hope i helped

Dealing with life -
My best suggestion for you is to manage your time. What I like to do to get myself organized is get a few of those office paper trays. Buy maybe four, two for school related activities, the other for personal activities and chores.
Label two of them "To Complete" and the other two "Completed". When you get home from school, manage your trays accordingly. Stash all of your homework, essays, scholarships into one "To Complete" tray, and for personal activities and chores, write it down on a piece of notebook paper and put it in the other "To Complete" tray as well. Set aside times where you will complete each item, and when you're finished, put the completed papers into the "Completed" trays. You'll see the load in the to do tray start to go down dramatically once you get working, and this idea gives you a good look on how much left you have to complete for the rest of the day/night.
Also, take breaks in between. Reward yourself for completing each task.
As for the acne, Proactiv should work, but I've never tried. I used to have pretty bad acne too, but after a few years I grew out of it. Just wash your face every morning and every night before bed. Apply a acne ointment on your face after you wash, and you should be set.
I hope this helps.

ok, the first thing that a procrastinator needs to do is to get a schedule of events set up. Keep in mind your goals and things that you have to do and write them down on a calendar. If you have a visual and a schedule of things to do, that will help ease stress and also help you to focus better. Sleep is VERY important, I cannot emphasize that enough, but when we stress out, we often do not sleep well. A suggestion that I can make there is that you do some form of relaxation technique before going to bed. If I may suggest one that works for me, close your eyes and clear your mind, picture yourself in a field of grass, hold your head up high and let the sun fill you and the feeling of light to come in, while the light is coming in, imagine all of the negative and stressful things leaving your body. Sure, sounds kinda whacky, but it works, the mind is a powerful tool. Concerning your acne, some people especially during teenage years are prone to acne....DO NOT let it affect who you are on the inside! You are a beautiful and very talented young woman who has a lot to offer....the shell on the outside is just that, a shell. :)
