I’m still in high school and I was wondering if anyone knew of any flying schools or lessons I could go to. Please, this would be very helpful.
You can find out where a local flight school is if you visit http://www.beapilot.com/ they have a database with flight schools listed.
Also you can check out my Yahoo 360 Blog I have been writing about getting your private pilots rating!

You could start with Flight Simulator X to get you comfortable. I have Flight Simulator X and it has lessons to teach you how to fly airplanes. The instructor is a real human-but its just a recorded voice. The name of the instructor is Rod Machado. The lessons are simulated.
From my personal experience, I first did not know how to fly. I was curious about how pilots do it so I got Flight Simulator X. Then I went to the Learning Center and clicked on Lessons. From there, I fly planes very well.
Use the Flight Simulator to get used and comfortable of flying. Then when you turn 18 and pass the medical exam, you’ll know how to do some stuff before the instructor teaches you.

The best thing for you to do is join the military. It might sound strange but it works. I have wanted to fly since birth and I’m about to graduate college as an officer in the Marine Corps to learn how to fly. ALL FOR FREE!! Pilot schools cost a lot of money. If you have it go for it. If not think about a branch of service. They offer the best planes and the best training.
