Your parents love you and want whats BEST for you.You may have to focus more on school until you are done with it, the b/f and job will still be there when youre done with school.

Holy cow! An honor student to boot? I'm sure they only want what's best for you but is it that if you don't do "well" they think it's some kind of personal vendetta ? If you don't get straight A's as an honor student, they think they're bad parents? I would demand that they are in "therapy" as well. They seem to have the money to pay for it, then you need to tell your therapist what is going on and ask how to help. My goodness it's only high school! Maybe they're afraid you're going to get pregnant and drop out. Who knows.

Sweetie, you are trying to put to much into your life right now. Try to sit down and talk to your parents and let them know how you are feeling. See sweetie us parents, we are always trying to protect our children even when our children feel like we shouldn't any more. Parenting is a never ending job. Try to understand where they are coming from also. Don't worry about them butting in, worry when they don't pay any attention to you. What you need to do is put your education first. This is what you are going to fall back on when you are on your own one day. Boyfriends, friends come and go honey, but family is forever and the only ones you can lean on. Like I said talk to them and let them know what is going on with you. May be they feel like you are going to break with all that's going on with you. It's okay to let them in, and trust them if they have been good to you. Good luck and God Bless

Make a list of everything that you are involved in and prioritize them, starting with the most important and ending with the least.
Every day work your way down the list. Whatever doesn't get done, move to the next days list, but make sure it's in the proper place according to importance. Be sure you leave some time to chill.
When you talk to your parents be calm and reasonable...don't get upset and yell; they won't hear you when you get mad, it will only make them mad.
It's your parents job to butt in; they want what's best for you because they care about you.

if you talk to the therapist they can't talk to your parents about what you said, so you could go to the therapist and complain about your parents all day long...all the things that bother you.
don't let their expectations bother you. have your own expectations as long as you reach your own expectations you should be proud of yourself. if you are in honors classes you shouldn't have anything to worry about. try to talk to your parents about giving you more slack, tell them you will talk to them when you want to.
maybe go on group dates so you can hang out with your boyfriend and friends at the same time. make sure you make time for yourself. You don't want to spread yourself too thin.

well, go to see this therapist once, and give it a chance.talk to her about the things you mentioned here. she will advise you about managing your time, and about parenting and how to deal as the child.
all the best.
