I am in high school in Oregon. I have problems with anxiety and I kind of want to do online school while still getting treatment for my anxiety, so like meds and therapy. I was wondering if it would be possible to do online school but still go to one class in real school? I would want to do online to not be so nervous all the time and real school so I can work a little on my interactive skills.

Online schooling has a poor reputation. The first line of defense against depression and anxiety is B vitamins. Get nutritional yeast powder and/or B-100 pills. Vitamin B2 is a water soluble dye that turns urine bright yellow. When the color fades, it's time for another dose. Read some books about nutrition so you know how to eat right.
Get "Dress For Success" by John Molloy. He has a lot of advice for students, and it has no resemblance to guidance you get from school counselors:
1. Vocal skill will affect your earning power more than any other single detail.
2. Acting skill will get you a job offer even if you are not qualified for the job.
3. The most important thing you get from your college years is your address book.
4. The main difference between a successful man and a very successful man is the latter knows hundreds more people, and he knows them quite well.
Plan your schooling accordingly.
Yes it is possible to do both. I do school online and take classes at my high school. If you live in the district and your parents pay taxes to the school then you have a right to take classes. I will tell you that ever since I started online school, my social life has gone from life of the party to nonexistent. I have no friends and never go out. Not only this but online school is pretty darn expensive. Really think about what you want to do and best wishes :)
Yes I have known people that have done both. Physical (or as it is sometimes called, brick and mortar) school, and online school for additional classes. If you really want to there are also opportunities to do school completely online but you may want to get involved in programs in your area, clubs or sports, to be able to interact with people in person.
