Stressed out teenage girl?

So, I'm a junior in high school and I've been through so much lately. I guess I'll just make a list of things that bother me. I'm a 17 year old girl. I need help, anything you've got to say. Thanks so much.

*Through my school life, I've been in all Honors classes. I've never gotten a C. Only A's and B's, only a couple B's. My GPA is 4.2 but it's in jeopardy. I have a C in Honors Physics. I have a C in Honors American Survey. And 2 B's. This is so stressful for me. I come home from school and just don't feel like doing homework because I've been at school for 9 hours. Then I procrastinate. Physics is killing me. It's the hardest class I've ever been in my life. Now we're scheduling for senior year which is scary because it's the last year. I have no ideas what classes to take to help me for a career, let alone what career I want to do. I feel so pressured to make a decision within a year. I've thought about accounting. But I don't have barely anyone to talk to.

*Thinking about college stresses me out.

*I cry a lot just from all the stress. I try to not let anyone see how sad I am.

*I feel very ugly about myself. I'm not pretty, I've got acne which I just feel like will never go away as long as I'm alive. I've never had a boyfriend, which makes me very sad or had my first kiss. Guys don't even show interest.

*I'm so shy. I hate it. I'm not good at talking to people. Hate social situations. I don't like making eye contact cause I suck at it and feel that my eyes cross when I look at people or something. I think I might have Social Phobia.

*I feel fat. Nothing looks good on me usually. I'm so sick of all the same clothes, but I've never been able to afford too much, just cute clothes that are not name brand like American Eagle which I would love to get.

*I've got a junky pay as you go phone that's old, when everyone else is getting touch screen phones.

*About 2 months ago, my grandpa died which has been hard on me. I went through a spell a few weeks ago where I got sick, passed out, and had to go to the hospital.

*School work really stressing me out, I've already mentioned this.

*I'm trying to make it into the National Honors Society.

*I don't have barely any friends that I go out and do things with. I haven't done anything with friends for months now. :( I feel so lonely. I need people to talk with and talk about these things but I'm not close enough with anyone to do so. Inside I can just feel a feeling that I need to talk about all of these personal things with someone but I'm not that close with any one person. I just have people who I say hello to and talk casually to about school but not too many that I would actually hang out.

*I have a part time job.

I just don't know what to do. Maybe this doesn't sound like a lot, but I'm crying right now:( Please help me. Thanks!

Update:

Any specific readings in the Bible I could do? Any good verses you can recommend? Thanks.

    I am soooo sorry about your grandpa, my cousin passed away and it is vert tough when a love one passes. tell me all the positives in your life. Like your super smart, you avoided all the hassles when it comes to boyfriends, your GPA is waayyy higher than mine, you focus, you have a job, your avoiding the drama that comes with friends and after high school your going to get in an awesome college and gain a degree:)

    I never had a boyfriend and havent even had my first kiss and i am 18 years old lol I have a strong relationship with Jesus so I know i am fine.

    Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

    Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

    Isaiah 41:10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand

    Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.

    Revelation 21:4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

    You need to calm down, I'm sure you are a very nice and good looking girl and i'm sure you would be very fun in any social situation ^_^

    What you need to do is pick out one day, just one... have you parents help you find a way to call off work on that day, push homework aside, and two options...

    a: go to your car and the go find yourself a nice movie to see, then stop at the funnest resturant you can think of and spend some time there, then come home, no matter what time it is, lay down, watch another movie, and go to sleep early... but set your clock earlier to get up and do some of your homework...

    B: Do as i have mentioned but at home if you can't go out...

    Hope this helps!

    hey im sure your a very beautiful girl...the acne isnt being helped by all of the stress your currently dealing with. i read youve got excellant grades ive never had A's and B's just C's D's and F's. im very sorry for your loss i lost my mother in law in october, ive known her since i was 2. im very shy aswell it takes time for me to trust people that i talk to on a daily basis just to show my true self. your not they only person who feels the way you do dear cause i do too. theres no rush for a bf or a first kiss. if you really want to make it into the national honors society strive to do so and keep all of your focus into that. dont worry about new phones, or having alot of friends. make yourself happy. your only 17 once. please dont cry! i hope this helps tleast a little bit

    You're under a good deal of stress and with the recent death in your family, it's probably feeling like you've got too much to deal with right now. You need to talk to someone who can help you sort things out.

    Do you have a counselor at school who you can talk with? They don't just provide help deciding what courses to take and where to go to college; they are also trained in dealing with personal problems of teenagers and can direct you to appropriate professional help (if you need it).

    Can you talk to your mom or dad or other adult family member? Tell them you need help.

    Can you talk with your doctor?

    Can you talk to your pastor or youth counselor at church? Some church pastors have received training in pastoral counseling and can help you work through your problems or can refer you to services available in your town/city.

    Happiness

    If I could use only one sentence to point you toward lasting happiness it would be this: True happiness can only be found in God, for only He can meet the deepest yearnings of our hearts. Let me explain.

    You see, we aren't on this earth by accident. God created us, and He put us here for a reason: to know Him and to enjoy His presence in our lives, both now and throughout eternity. God even created us with an empty place in our hearts—an empty place that He alone can fill. The Bible says, "He has also set eternity in the hearts of men" (Ecclesiastes 3:11).

    Whenever we try to fill that empty place with anything or anyone other than God, we are bound to fail. No matter how many things we have or how successful we are, that empty place is still there. But when we come to Christ, we discover that God loves us, and He makes us part of His family. More than that, He comes to live within us by His Holy Spirit. Think of it: God wants you to be part of His family forever—beginning now.

    By faith turn to God and tell Him that you know you need Him. Then open your heart and life to Christ and ask Him to fill the empty places in your life. Jesus promised, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives" (John 14:27). Turn to Christ today and discover the joy and peace He alone can give.

    What to Do With your Life

    You may not know what you ought to do next - but God does! And that's why the most important advice I can give you is to urge you to turn to Him and seek His will for your future.

    You see, God knows all about you; after all, He made you. He knows your strengths and weaknesses, and He also knows where you will fit in. But He not only knows all about you - He also loves you, and He wants what is best for you. This is why you don't need to flounder around or take the path that seems easiest, because God wants to guide you to His path. The Bible's promise is for you: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart ... and he will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6).

    How can you find God's will? First, turn to Jesus Christ and ask Him to come into your life. He wants to make you part of His family, and He wants to guide you by His Spirit. Then ask Him to guide you as you examine your options; make your future a matter of constant prayer. Seek the advice of wise friends also, and be willing to accept new responsibilities and challenges.

    In addition, let the Word of God, the Bible, be your guide. One reason God gave it to us was so we could know what kind of people He wants us to be. Put Christ first, and trust Him to guide you one step at a time.
