I'm an advanced soon to be 7th grade student and I do a lot of self-learning. I have done Pre-Algebra, Algebra, and am about half way through Algebra 2. I am wondering what I should do next- Trig, Pre-Calculus, etc.? What course does anyone recommend?

I have read your original question and your interaction with Comments.
There are many possible directions for you to go. If you want to take the traditional path towards calculus and a math major in college, then trigonometry would certainly be a good choice. Independently of that (before, alongside, or after) you might do some basic set theory at the level of a 'discrete mathematics' course, or explore some fundamentals of logic. I think you are wise to explore just the basics of these topics for now. If you are headed towards a career in mathematics you will get the full version of these topics in due course.
More generally, the mathematical sciences include such topics as computer science, probability theory, and statistics. Disciplines that make heavy use of mathematics also include economics, physics, and engineering. Maybe you can discover some of the connections.
You should try to explore some of those fields a bit before you finish high school and go on to college. This might give you increased confidence in choosing the right major when you get to college.
Finally, you should listen to advice from family members, advisers, faculty members, and so on, to hear what they have to recommend. They may know a little about your strengths, weaknesses, and interests. Some academic subjects have stronger links than others to jobs that you can build into a career.
I think the most wonderful choice is from among those that would allow you to be paid what you consider a sufficient salary to do something you really love to do and will remain enthusiastic about. (I was lucky enough to make such a choice--well, the 2nd time, anyway--and I highly recommend it.) After listening to everyone's advice, $you$ should make the choice to head in a direction that allows you to do that.
