I can't find the median,variance & the standard deviation.

The median is easy to find: since there are six numbers the median is the average of the 3rd and 4th numbers (6 and 8), which is 7.

To find the standard deviation, input the entries into your calculator. The variance is simply the square of the standard deviation.

Update: The variance and standard deviation cannot be 8 and 4 (the variance must be the square of the standard deviation). Use Var(x) or StDevPop(x), whichever one you prefer, where x is the list {2,4,6,8,8,8}. You should obtain a variance and standard deviation of 6.4 and 2.5298.
