AP is the right track - between the AP exams and dual enrollment in my local college I graduated from high school (at age 16 I might add) with 20 hours credit or so. I had about a 94/100 average (my high school calculated GPAs in an odd way) and a 4.0 all through college. College is a totally different experience. Trust me. You need to work your ass off in high school and get into the college that best fits your needs. Then life gets exactly 1,000,000 times better. You're doing things you want to do, taking classes you are interested in (for the most part), learning from teachers who are excited about teaching and with students who are excited to be learning - at least I was. It is a wonderful experience and well worth a couple of shitty years in high school. You will be preparing yourself for the rest of your life. Go for it.
