I just got out of a relationship with a girl that I still REALLY care about. I just began to think that high school relationships are overrated, we fought all the time, and I've got A LOT on my plate.
But, like I said, I still REALLY like her. And I'm seriously considering getting back together with her. But I just fear that I won't be able to meet her demands and expectations, and we'll start fighting again. What do you guys think?

I think that depending on how recently the two of you broke up, you should spend some time apart as to sort out your thoughts and let your feelings ease up. Breaking up is an emotionally trying experience- and afterwards, everyone is at least a bit of a wreck. Feelings can be volatile things, and at the moment, you're not in a position to make good judgments.
Give it a month or two, see how you feel afterwards. For now, just focus on living your life and doing the things that make you happy.

I think you need to wait this one out. People can change a lot during highschool because of puberty and peer pressure and other friends and such, so don't be surprised if you find suddenly you've lost most of what you had in common. In that case, you might have to let this go. It is highschool though, and there are plenty of other people to date.

Sage nailed it.
Break ups are trying experiences. And like all impermanent things, a grieving process must take place however you choose to experience it - whether it be through sadness, frustration, or happiness. Whatever it is, there needs to be a brief interlude after a break up. Having second thoughts at the end of a relationship is perfectly normal and they may very well be legitimate, but there needs to be breathing space. As you yourself said you have a lot on your plate right now.
Just take a break for a month or so and see how it goes. But right now, you're both not in the right place to make good judgements.
