How can high school students effectively self-study physics?

How did you find PF?

Google searches for homework questions, looks similar to Physics SE (but more homework-friendly?)

Hello! I am currently in the first year of the IB diploma programme (i.e. 11th grade). I've made attempts to self-study physics before but was sufficiently confused by mechanics to make the rest seem intimidating. I'm wading through Spivak's Calculus and Halliday et al.'s Fundamentals of Physics at the moment.

I'm going through almost the exact same experience, damn. Mechanics was super confusing, I particularly disliked the projectile motion part.
