i'm a junior in high school... my brother says it's going to be more difficult to become a pediatrician than a pharmacist... because to become a pediatrician, it takes years and years of studying.. also, how's physics? since i'm taking my other hard classes (pre-cal, chemistry, AP U.S., chinese 5-6, english 5-6 honors), i would like to know if taking physics is better or anatomy...

A lot depends on what you like and what you want to do. You are obviously very bright, and you could do any of those things.
If you are leaning toward being a pediatrician, I would go for anatomy over physics, even though you may have to take physics eventually.

I would go with physics.
Check out pharmacy!
Here is why:
1) Most starting salary is 75-150k depending on location and need
2) Most jobs are the usual 9-5
3) You will finish faster compared to medical school
4) You will not have to deal with blood, other than your own from a paper cut. As a doc, you will be exposed to blood, guts and human bodily fluids all day long.
5) You will get the chance to see and spend time with family
6) You will get a job anywhere because there is a pharmacist shortage in the US
7) It is a clean and nice environment!
Good Luck with your decision!

Take physics. It is required by both pre-med and pre-pharm programs. Anatomy can wait. In college program, students who did not take high school physics was at a disadvantage. In fact, medical schools do not like to see that you've taken college level anatomy.
