A level

[James777]

Don't know how many people here are from England and take these exams but I had my final one today. Everyone expected me to do amazing my freinds my family. My school has a reputation of high achievers and all my freinds are talking about going to there 1st choice but I despite the offer of a dream, gave up and self destructed. I think I want to die ordered SN scared of how it kills you and feel destroyed, its this crushing silence that's the worst bit.

I personally think that education and exams are just a way to torture people. I have bad memories of that from when I was younger. Humans are forced to exist and they have all these pressures and expectations placed on them, it is all so unfair and depressing. I'm sorry for what you are going through. I can imagine that it must be really hard having to deal with the stress of exams. I hope that you find relief from your suffering.

i mean this in the most respectful manner possible, but a-levels are not worth killing yourself over. they are incredibly stressful, i won't deny that, but if that alone is what's pushing you to think these thoughts, then i think you might just be a little burnt out from all the studying you've just finished. i thought i bombed mine, but i ended up doing alright -- not as well as i could've done, but well enough -- and still got into my first choice. my sixth form friends all thought the same and all managed to get into their first choice. if that's what you're worried about, i hope that's put you at ease.

you sound mostly afraid about an uncertain future, but even if you have fucked up these exams, there are so many choices for you. you already have gcses, which means you have a wider scope than a lot of people do. you could even resit your a-levels if you wanted, or reapply to uni after a gap year. you have a lot going for you, especially since you got your 'dream offer' (which is a great achievement in itself) so please, respectfully, reconsider this irreversible decision and don't give up just yet. you're not eternally doomed

I got 3 As and never earned any money. My brother didn't do so well but is much better paid. Work experience more important than university in so many ways. A levels not very important. Please don't do it for this reason.

My dad is very clever but prefers gardening.

Probably in future farmers will be the most important people in any case

My advice would be take whatever you can get, take the loans, and take lots of drink and drugs.
