I'm 15 and just feel overwhelmed! At school there is so much work and I always have to go home and do more of it. I always have to do my homework and then I have to worry about the whole routine like having to get ready for the next day and outfits that look decent and doing laundry and taking a shower and using acne products and my room is a mess and then on the weekend I just wanna relax but the teachers always give homework and then I feel like I have nothing to wear like I look weird in everything and feel awkward

and then @ high school there is so much useless drama being chatted about
and people talk about who they're going out with
and I've never gone out with anyone and just so much useless drama
like people talk about what others are wearing and if it was cool or not

You sound like a normal teen....
You are just going through changes & adjusting to becoming an adult-in-training.....

Don't worry, it's totally normal to feel that way. But you don't have to feel that way. You really don't need to worry about how you look...as long as you like it. Other peoples opinions can make you feel bad about yourself, when you'd be happy if you just didnt' listen to them. I'm feeling very overwhelmed this year...I'm a junior. I get a lot of work, also. I've actually changed a bit since last year, so I'm more happy with what I look like. Are you trying to follow the fashion trends that the 'popular' people wear? Because if you are, then no wonder you feel awkward. You aren't being yourself. If you aren't following those trends, then you might be feeling the pressure by the people who do follow the trends. But you don't have to feel pressure, because what matters is your opinion and how you feel about yourself.
There are times when you'll just need to relax from your homework and everything. And don't worry that you won't have time for this. Relaxation is key in finding happiness in your overwhelming life at the moment. So just relax when you need to. It's healthy.

You are not alone. It is normal. My son, 14, just finished his homework. This was after a full day of school, soccer game, dinner and guitar practice. I think many kids your age feel this way. It's tough. Just keep plugging away and keep a positive attitude. Your education is important. Don't worry about your room, that can wait. Your clothes will make you feel better if you are put together. Dress for success.
As for the high school drama, don't play into it. It's stupid and not how the real world is.

What you are feeling is much more common than you think. I'd say the vast majority of high schoolers feel that way, and most everyone who once was a high schooler felt that way. You'll make it through it ok, just keep in mind graduation is not that far away.
Oh, and keep in mind to do what makes you happy, not what makes others happy. As Bertrand Russell once said, "One should respect public opinion insofar as is necessary to avoid starvation and keep out of prison, but anything that goes beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny."

It is completely normal and believe it or not, it will pass.
