im a senior in high school and im not sure what i really should do. I want to join a sport team and get a job to make money, but at the same time i wanna be free and hang out with my friends and family so if i get a job i wouldnt have a fun time with friends and i want to enjoy since im a senior so i rather work after i graduate, but i need money to buy a car and other things i need or wants and same with sports i might miss out something and i might get too tired to do my homework or study so im really confused what should i do? if i get a job/sport/school i wouldnt have time for anything i want to have fun before i step into a real world =[

If it's because you want some work experience before you step out into the "real world," that's great. Speaking from personal experience, though... I would wait om the job thing if I were you. You have the rest of your life to work... enjoy your time with your friends and family while you still can because you're going to miss it later.
There isn't really a simple solution to this one because it really depends on what is more important to you: having money to buy things that you want to having free time to be with your friends and family. You're gonna have to weigh the pros and cons of both sides before you make a decision, and unfortunately, I can't help you out with that as much as I would like to.

As for the job, if your family can afford to support you, you're probably better off focusing on your studies while you can, but go for it if you really need the money. It'll be good work experience too.
Just give it a go. You'll get used to being busy. Having more commitments will force you to manage your time properly. Just make sure your commitments don't clash, and that you still have enough time to sleep after getting everything done.
I used to be one who never got involved in anything and thus had all the free time I needed. It was great. I had the time to go online and do whatever I wanted, and I did well at school.
Then I suddenly became interested in doing more (after a really good cycling event). My life has never been the same ever since. I became involved in doing a lot of things. Having a lot of free time was great, but this is even better.
I'm at university. I overload every semester, and I help run three of the clubs on campus and am involved with another five outside. I still have time to go out with my friends. You can do it too.

The fun dosen't stop when you leave school you grow up & mature, he who works hard earns heaps gains lots. if you really want something you have to make some sacrifices. That's a fact of life. Your young.... you can do it. My husband had 3 jobs when I was dating him. he found time to see me too for the first 2 yrs of our relationship. If you want it bad enough make it happen.
