Burnout in High School: A Hidden Epidemic


Burnout isn’t always obvious—it hides behind procrastination, perfectionism, or sudden indifference. At EdAstra, we look beyond achievements to ask what it’s costing students, helping them find success with balance, rest, and purpose.

Straight A’s. Four leadership roles. An internship. Debate team. Piano exam. Social life. Now add 4 hours of sleep and a constant undercurrent of "not enough." Sound familiar? Burnout isn’t loud. It’s quiet. It looks like procrastination, mood swings, sudden indifference, or obsessive perfectionism. At EdAstra, we don’t just ask what a student is doing — we ask what it’s costing them. Because real success doesn’t come from running harder. It comes from running smarter, with rest, reflection, and purpose.
