Depressed at school and hate parents' expectation

Okay, so I go to this expensive and one of the best high school in town. Why do I go there? I go there because I was a good student in middle school.
I never enjoy going to this school, in fact i feel depressed and trapped here. It's like that this school is taking over my life. We stay in school from 7am to 4pm with tons of homework and lab reports to do.. I dont like all the classes, and I think that all the teachers really dislike me. I have a bad grade and I dont really have any friend in class (I went for student exchange last year, so all my classmate is now the upperclassmen)So yeah I hate my school a lot!I become so stressed and scared about it and skip several times.. and I cant go to any other school,because this school have a very different system of any other school, so If I get off of this school, I should start from the first year.

My parents seem never understand about what I'm going through, they always push me, tell me to do that, to do this. They tell me what they want to happen, their expectation, and how they want me to be good at school, but they never really give me any advice to solve my problems at school. They always talk about the old days, about how good I was. What make these worse is the compare and contrast me with my super smart brother, It's so damn hurts.. T.T
I don't want to let them down, I've tried to study more, try to enjoy my school, but none of these works. I really lost, I cant stand it.. I often cry because of this.. =(
Sometimes I just want to runaway, but I dont think its mature way to get out of these craps..

so please, any advice?? every input will help..

sigh, I wanna go to plutoooooo!!!

    Well, you could always see it from the perspective that school is temporary. But... I do think that when you're at school, and trying to pass, preparing yourself for the future, etc. It is very stressful. That's normal, but I think it's pretty sad that they compare you to your brother. You are your own person. You shouldn't be compared.

    Understand that you're great already at being who you are, not who he is. Your parents need to understand that if you're gonna change, it's gonna be on your terms for good reasons, and not under theirs. You need to tell your parents how you feel. You have to tell them that you're sick of being compared, and that it makes you feel belittled.

    dude/woman! make YOURSELF HAPPY cuz if you don't no one else will. Do what makes your heart happy (within self-reason..like no cutting..that doesn't actually make u happy). But don't live up to other's standards, make your own and live up to those. You'll be a lot happier person, trust me.

    Question? Is there any class that you like even just a little bit? Do you play sports or are you involved in any after school activities? What do you want to do after you are done with highschool?
