Answer 2

I am assuming that you are flying as unaccompanied minor to the states. You will be assigned a flight attendant and he or she will be on the flight to help whenever you need it. He or she will help you will the customs paper that you have to fill out before you land at JFK airport.  At the airport in the states, there will be someone assigned to you to help you clear customs. They will take you to pick up your luggage  and to meet your party here in the states.  The party in the states will have to have ID to pick you up. The airlines will not allow you to go with anyone other than the person your family has assigned to pick you up.

Do not be afraid everything will be alright .  You should bring some thing to do on your flight; ipod, books, puzzles. There will be movies on the flight so you can watch the movies. All these thing will help you pass the time and before you know it, you will be in New York.

I would suggest you get up every now and then to stretch your legs, use the bathroom. You can even sleep if you can. , try to sleep some.  You will  lose five hours between Shannon Ireland and NY. Meaning  you will have 5 additional hours in your day  as Shannon Ireland is 5 hours ahead of NY.

Have your parents speak with the people at the airline  with whom you will be flying.  They will take good care of you.
