It is an automatic. I know that can't be good. Does anyone know what could be making it do that? Sometimes I am scared to drive it. It does it at any speed too. Any time it needs to shift it revs up that high!

Sounds like a transmission issue. It should be taken in for a proper diagnosis and repair.
