Right on. If you need something to distract you while in school, start a business. Buy a trailer and mowers and hire someone to mow lawns for you. Go into the local health club or bagel shop and ask them if you can set up a blender and make smoothies in the AM before school. Hell, start some kind of website and sell advertising space. Even if you break even, it'll be good for you because you could (a) sell it to someone as a turn-key operation (think youtube) or (b) tell future employers about it when you interview for jobs.
Better yet, it will make you realize how small and insignificant HS problems usually are. I'm not trying to say your problems are small and insignificant, but your life is much longer than the 4 years (or so) it takes to get through HS. The decisions you make now can f-u-c-k up the time that follows. It seems a better idea to keep your head down and get through it for a few years, and do whatever you can to keep from messing up the 50 or so years that come after it.
