There’s an awesome old joke about the sciences. It’s funny because it’s actually true - and the deeper you get into any of them, the more clear this will be:
Biology is really chemistry. Chemistry is actually physics. Physics is just math. And math is make-believe. So why bother?
(I admit, I edited the word “make-believe”, but the joke implies the same, in a slightly saltier way.)
I kinda love the quote because biology is all driven by (organic) chemical processes. Chemistry, when you get down to the molecule-level, is just the physics rules applied on a tiny scale. Physics is totally all math all the time. And “math” isn’t a real thing - you can’t hold it in your hand. It’s just a human construct to make sense of different amounts of stuff.
But then, when you get down to it, science isn’t “real” in that sense either. It is a structured way of looking at the world and trying to solve problems based upon observable facts. Sort of like philosophy with numbers.

this is legit so true
and heres a quote abt science
“When you are studying atoms, its just a bunch of atoms trying to understand themselves.”

Since metric is all base 10, I should think it will appeal to you, since the math for metric is so much cleaner. I only know of one other main system - the imperial system, which is all pounds and inches, and that one is such a goofy old mess. (If you find learning metric boring, because you grew up with Imperial, you might entertain yourself by learning about how the Imperial system came about. Ever notice how an inch is about the size of a thumb? That a foot is roughly like a big grown man’s foot? Try looking it up. Then look up how metric base measurements was chosen - you will have a much better appreciation. - like why Centigrade is set up with 0 and 100 at the precise points they are.)
It sounds like you are frustrated from being held back doing “simple” stuff when you are advanced beyond that. (Understanding base 4 and converting to base 10 is pretty abstract thinking.) If that’s true, have you tried talking to your teachers/parents/guidance counsellor/principle about it?
A lot of early science education is a bit dull because you have to understand the fundamentals to be able to deal intelligently with the stuff that builds on them. (And I hate that this is the case, but it’s true that you really do need to slog through it. It’s like memorizing the alphabet before learning to read. Not super exciting, but absolutely necessary.) But in my experience, if you can show you have already got a solid handle on the basics, many educators delight in supporting advanced students move further to challenge themselves. I was lucky as a kid and had loads of teachers help me do just that. - I suggest you try this first. It is usually helpful to recruit good teachers who know you and can answer your questions directly as you learn. They may also have better, more targeted websites or resources to help you. Or even a special gifted-and-talented program - which itself usually offers many opportunities for advanced study.
If your formal education system won’t help you (once you’ve asked really clearly, and proven yourself ready), then you are lucky enough to have an alternative. The internet is amazing for making almost all the sum of human knowledge available to anyone with a computer.
You might try looking at a place called “Crash Course” - which provide entertaining, high-quality you-tube video courses with supplementary materials on a bunch of different topics.
The lessons are fast, as if written mostly as a support for high schoolers already taking a similar class, but needing a refresher or extra reminders. But you can watch them in bits (and backup to repeat sections), and use the references they provide, for self-study. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX6b17PVsYBQ0ip5gyeme-Q
It might be too advanced (for now - but not for much longer, it sounds like, but one of the most respected free online course systems in the world is MIT OpenCourseWare. MIT (a world-class top-tier science university in the US) decided to publish almost all their course materials online, for free access by anyone. It won’t give you a degree, but it will give you access to a similar quality of education, and they also include “beginner-level” stuff. (Be warned that “beginner” in this case means “for the average adult or motivated high-schooler who hasn’t had years of training in that particular topic.” ) https://ocw.mit.edu/
*It also led to lots of other universities publishing their classes, at least in part, and a joint course system with MIT, Harvard and UC Berkeley, and other top schools at https://www.edx.org/learn/science.

I’ve heard that schools in China really push their students, particularly in science and math. How has that affected you? (Was it good? Was it bad? How so?)

the people who are smart on the inside
thats how my teacher back in china told us how to estimate how long things are
i mean yea
they really push the students but it didnt effect me that much cause i only have a couple years of that kind of education and then i came to theUS
gosh the us curriculum is really easy and relaxed compared to china
and even at advanced schools, theyre going at a slightly slower pace than in china

Apprantly your body has all sorts of connections
Like i think your eyebrows, nose and ears are the same length
or your foot is the size of your face
There’s all sorts of weird size coincidences
And your forearm is the same length as your foot
