How do I manage Junior Year of High School?

So I start my Junior Year of high school in exactly one week from today! I'm taking 4 AP Classes, and 4 Honors Classes. I have no lunch, study hall, or off period. I am going to go straight through the day from 7:00 am to 2:30 pm with no breaks. I am taking AP Lit, AP Chem, AP US History, and AP Euro. I am also taking Honors Pre-Calculus, Honors Spanish, College Criminal Justice/Sociology, College Accounting/Wall Street, and Weight Room. I am involved in three clubs, my most demanding being the Mock Trial Team, where we have practice Monday until 4, Tuesday-Wednesday until 5:30, Friday until 4, and Saturday Morning from 8 am until 12 pm. Also, I have an SAT class every Thursday from 5:30-6:45 about an hour away from my house. I work on Sunday morning from 8 am until 3 pm. On Friday night I volunteer for a local government from 3-5 pm. Also I have three tutors for an hour each every week. On top of this, I also play the piano and take an hour lesson every Monday, and am prepping for the National Piano Guild Festival. I don't know how I can balance all this plus my school work! Finally I am the Vice President of my high school, and the President of my Class. Please any advice would help!! Thank You!!!!!!!

    Simple. You need to drop one thing and have off periods at least ONCE a week. You will run yourself dry! You have your adulthood to run yourself like that. I'm serious, saying that out of concern. Do your parents put a lot of pressure on you? Or is it you doing this to yourself? A little of both?

    How does your school allow this? Back when I was in school (not a lecture lol) we had to take lunch, or have a homeroom. Home room was automatic and not much of a choice because that's when briefs where made, school news etc I am not saying you cant do it all but you should not have to! Most kids your age are getting part time jobs, learning to drive and going out having a good time. You don't want to be stressing yourself into a depression/eating disorder (yeah that happens) I know you said you work on Sunday, but you need a day off for petes sake.
