Comfort eat until I was the size of a hot air balloon, probably.

redo them and try harder this time
If Resit wasn't an option i'd probably go straight down the RAF route, rather than going after uni to fast-track.

Resit my subjects. But if not, perhaps find an apprenticeship or something that goes down a similar route.
If you failed so bad that you believed redoing them wouldnt be of a huge advantage but still want to aspirations of going to university. You could always go college and do a Btec course and then go to uni. Its longer and it wont guarrentee you oxbridge material but its a decent avenue
If I have not an GSCE, I would try to get an one. Otherwise I do nothing for school.
I don't know, cry?

carry on living :biggrin:
Cry, feel suicidal for a while, move on and then resit them the following year.

It would be so disappointing for anyone who put the effort in to do well.

How about suicide? It is an exaggerated emotion in my opinion, but there were people who commit suicide concerning bad marks, why not?
I always joke I'd become a stripper :P
Seriously, I think I'd go to college or into work .
Probably this

That is the right attitude! What is a paper full of (subjective) marks compared to the life?
Forget school, grow vegetables and open a bakery.

It's not something I think about too much as unfortunately a reasonable academic record is all I have going for me in this world; noob at guitar and no real business brain that I know of.
Teach English as a second language in France for six months, return in March to resit my French AS & A2 speaking, then redo both papers in June.

EDIT: You can **** right off with your negs!
