Hi please listen to me!! It doesn't matter what GCSE grades you get, YOU'RE more important and you can always RESIT remember that! Which A levels would you like to do and PLEASE remember GCSEs are NOT everything and you can always resit if you don't do as well as you expected and it always feels like you have done worse than you actually have. You can PM me any time my friend.
didnt you revise? or your got to the exam hall and got scared?

Grades really aren't worth worrying about. If your parents are more worried about your grades that your mental health, then they need an intervention.
Not achieving grades isn't the end of the world, I know it can suck, because I failed a fair few that I thought I passed. I ended up leaving school with one higher at a D...That was in RMPS neehoo, I went on to get a job for a few years, went to college, and now I'm away to do my degree.
You can't go back and change what you wrote in your paper, if it ends up that you need to resit, then resit, if you have to end up going to college, then go. My main concern is that you think your parents won't support you whatever your grades are. They love you unconditionally, and will support you in whatever way you need it. Speak to them about your concerns and see what they say. If they go mental like you suspect they do, then refer them to "how to love your child after exam results day 101"! (sorry for the sarcasm there, it's a bad habit I have!)
All they can expect is that you went into your exam, and did what you could. Do not worry yourself sick about this, because in the big bad world, your grades really don't matter, the only thing they do is determine how much tax you'll pay in your career! :P
In all seriousness though, exams while they are stressful, and waiting for results is rubbish, do not get yourself worked up about it, try as best you can to put it to the back of your mind until results day, and DO NOT try to look up answers to your paper. :smile: Then take each step as it comes about your future, who knows, maybe you've done better than you think!

Grades don't define you! We ALL know how you feel, trust me! You probably did better than you thought - everything seems worse than it actually is...

Also, are you on AQA for the sciences? Biology was so weird, I hated it, I think I failed myself so you're not alone! :s-smilie:

Your not alone, I feel exactly the same. I am going to revise more now so that I can pull my grade sup for the subjects I haven't done all the exams for. But whats done is done so there is no point stressing about it now, focus on future exams instead. Good luck I hope you do well. :smile:

Fall down you get back up, you learn from mistakes, you focus on how to improve, you never give up, you continue to believe in yourself, and you try again and again and again until you reach your goal.

It's okay to fall, to stumble, to slow down, but keep moving forward. Keep growing.

You're welcome, I've been where you are, and I know how rough it can get, and I would hate for anyone to go through it, without someone there to offer advice or support. As long as you feel a bit better about everything now. It does seem like a big deal and schools/parents/teachers/private tutors put so much pressure on exams, un-necessary pressure. I've failed exams and at the time it was a big deal. Once you leave school, you'll really see how little it actually means, if you're willing to apply yourself, the world is your oyster! If you see yourself walking across a stage in a black gown collecting your degree, you'll find a way to get it, with or without your grades. You got this! :smile:
