Ever since school started, i started to have many goals, responsibilities, and duty. How can i be successful when there are so many things going on. I did not handle everything in my hand. I feel really strong about my abilities to hold things. Things are falling apart. What can I do to be successful and be capable of everything?
I'm currently taking 8 classes as a high school student; 2 AP classes, 1 honor class, rest are regular classes, and academic decathlon theory. I'm in the academic team (new member), tennis team, and debate team (new member). I'm currently taking badminton theory and wanted to aim for team. I study for test, prepare for speeches, and a lot of crap. I'm becoming less responsible now. I keep losing things; break my goals, and so many crap! I want to do them all! And, yeah ... i have alot more stuff happening. I'm lacking sleep and my sleeping routine is screwed up.
Help!

Well, try cutting down on doing so many things at once!
i'm not saying to quit all those things, but cut some down..
and then build up to doing them
example: keep the classes but choose between, debate, tennis and badmitton.
choose 1!
then maybe do like another one after one.
do one by one..or one with distance between it.
all at once is not healthy.
=/ how do you find time to come online?
gosh. lol

I know exactly how you feel. There seriously isn't enough time in the day for everything! But I'd say just tone things down...take it easy and perhaps not have so many extra-curricular activities right now so you can work on your time management.

Just tone things done and work on your scheduling. Make sure you keep organized. Maybe cut out some EC activities... figure out which ones are most important to you and drop the rest.

I've just started at university and, surprisingly, it was more stressful at my college and highschool!
It sounds like you're doing an awful lot and it's interfering with other things and just dragging them down. I had that when I look too many A Levels (I took about 6 when most people do 2 or 3) and I just couldn't cope. Harder subjects were dragging the grades of easier subjects down because I was studying more for the hard ones. So I dropped a couple of classes and became almost instantly happier...and my grades improved in the rest of my classes.
I'd suggest taking things slowly; it's always tempting to dive straight into a new academic year and just go nuts, but don't bite off more than you can chew!

Do not procrastinate and let go of one thing.
