When that one person in the gc doesn't understand overworking as a child for so many years just to be successful and not being able to enjoy themselves because you had to work through textbooks and tuition and that's why you're apparently the smart kid in class and then when exams come you fail your parents expectations and get scolded as they put more syress on to you. They ask you to do all their shit, emails and work and you barely get to speak out because sometimes they'll hurt you for just slipping in a bit of free time but you follow their expectations because you don't want to hurt their feelings or neglect you. They don't understand because they had parents who cared about the child's wellbeing, so if you think that school is just about enough torture, just think about the people who come home to endless hours of work in books to pass a single test and then have to work to get into a good university. That's 13 years of work and loss of free time for me.
