I’m so done with Singapore schools

As a high school student in Singapore who goes to a ‘good school’, wtf is Singapore bro. Our cca hours are insane like I genuinely get home after 14 hours and have hours of homework on top of that. Have group projects and exams constantly and the environment is so toxic. School installed a dma on my personal device and can literally see my search history and everything about my personal life. They claim it’s such a good school life balance but it’s not, people are literally fainting at morning assembly due to lack of sleep and exhertion. I want to have a personal life and I know to avoid burnout I should take breaks, hand out with friends and work out and I love to do that but barely have time to do it. And when I do have time all I wanna do is lie in bed, eat junk food and doom scroll my life away. I wanna go overseas to a good college but I literally don’t have time to do any volunteering or improve myself. I used to be a great student like literally straight a pluses and all that jazz but now I’m barely passing and have chronic migraines and break down or get triggered by everything. I try to talk to people and they’re just like deal with it or like be grateful. I then just feel worse abt myself cause I know there are starving people out there and wars and everything else bad. And that just makes me depressed and I just wanna curl up in a ball and disappear. I can’t sleep cause im worried about the next exam and can’t relax. All the ppl around me are constantly studying and I can’t relate to anyone around me. My school literally had about 120 pages of math homework for the year end holidays. Like wtf.
Anyways guys don’t judge me please this is just how I feel. I know a lot of people are so darn booksmart here cause they study the whole fucking day and are so naturally smart. The system is so gooood.
That was very sarcastic guys I’m sorry but I know at the end of the day I’m lucky to have food water etc, but right now breathing feels impossible.
Thanks for reading this if u still here lol
