that IS the question.

to go to results day
or not to go to results day?

basically if i don't go to results day i can go on holiday but would have to wait until i got home to recieve them and might worry :frown:

will results day just consist of gloating or disappointment,
or am i missing out on an important life experience with all my friends?
pro and cons please?

Dont know mate I dont have your friends.

Cons: How long are you away for? You might need to get straight on the phone to ensure places etc, but hey for all I know you could have unconditionals!

Sorry! Umm, I'd rather go on holiday! Are you expecting the results you need? Do you know what you're doing after GCSE's?

meh its ok gcse results day was a bit of an anti climax i thought, you get results, cheer/cry for a minute with a couple of friends, leave because its awkward with loads of other people crying then thats it...

although I don't think I could handle the stress of going away and waiting- can you go away and someone call you with results?

I liked seeing everyone again 1 last time at school.. but i mean i didnt have the option of a holiday instead.. you'll still find them out.. and if you arent too worried about them, then you can just enjoy the hol and think of them later.. just go for the hol!!

Get your parents to read the results to you and go on holiday. Win win.

It's up to you, what you think is more important. Personally, I plan my holiday's around any results/important days.

i think i want to open them.. i really want to be the first to know!
god i'm such a little kid.

um i pretty much know i'm going to sixth form i just need to pass and then get As/ Bs in the subjects i persue...
i think i'd rather go on holiday but i'll get there and be like "agh i wish i was at school"
whichever way i choose i'll want to do the other come the 21st i suppose!

My friend is on holiday over results day but is getting his mum to pick up the results for him, open them and tell him over the phone. Can't you do something similar?

4 years back my cousen never went to pick her resultsup on results day-she decided to go 2 weeks later!'because i knew they were bad' she said.lol

Go to results day.

You can request someone to get them for you, or just wait. A few days extra waiting won't make much of a difference, you've already been waiting this long! :p:

Off topic - but what school do you go to? Lincoln FTW!!

On topic - go on holiday, someone can always phone/email/text you the results

But what's done is done.

If you can get someone else to go and get your results for you, or pick them up when they're mailed out - do that, just wait the extra day.
