I consider myself in your "boat" Chris. I'm 16, and well, sometimes life just feels like too much trouble. I'm still going through what you're going through (sorry if that doesn't encourage you), so I can't give you the wisdom the older people here can. But remembering these always seem to make me feel better:

1. Take refuge in what you enjoy! Friends, sports, parents, the arts (and girls!!). They make it all worthwhile.

2. Live today for today, not for tommorow! The world is what you make it!

3. Don't worry about what will happen. Instead, make what you want happen.

4. Hug your mom. (nothing, nothing works better than this one)

I don't know what other advice I can give you. Oh yeah, I'm in honors classes too, in fact I have four AP classes and one honors this year. In addition to my regular classes. If you have a lot of homework or are feeling particularly stressed, when you get home, take a long warm shower (it will give you time to sort everything out in your head) before doing anything. Works for me.
