Well, if you aren’t actually suffering from clinical depression, then it sounds like you haven’t found things you really love doing that you can do regularly every day. If you aren’t that interested in traditional academics, look outside–maybe even outside of intellectual learning completely. Yes, we all have areas in our lives that feel boring–but you shouldn’t feel like your youth is “sapping away” in every activity. Do you feel like some activities are not allowed to you? Pottery, photography, other art forms? Hiking, community service at a food bank? Nobody likes every single activity, but if you aren’t being pushed to “grind” by your parents, you’ll be able to find things.
