I am currently a year 12, supposed to be going into year 13. As it stands, this is almost impossible now and it is almost certainly inevitable that I will have to retake year 12 again. Because of coronavirus, the school was shut down in march and we only had live lessons a month before we broke up before summer. Unfortunately, the lockdown had deteriorated my mental state and I didn’t do any of the work assigned; to make things worse before lockdown I didn’t work as particularly hard as I know I could’ve/should’ve done. I don’t know what to do now, do I 1) retake year 12 at the sixth-form I go to, 2) go to a different sixth-form (or likely a college) and start over, or 3) what else could i possibly do? My predicted grades are U, U and E (i’m pretty sure) and we don’t do AS level at my school anymore so that’s all I have to work off of. I know now there’s almost nothing I can do not to resit or retake year 12, but I haven’t accepted it. I feel defeated. I just want to carry on and get through. It’s caused me a lot of upset and annoyance and I genuinely don’t know what to do. I feel ashamed and embarrassed and feel like a failure. I don’t wanna get judged by everyone for taking year 12 again, and I certainly don’t wanna watch everyone go off to Uni, while i’m still in school. I feel like that’s the most painful bit, they will be progressing and moving on and I won’t. I’m unsure what I can do, what what would he the best and easiest route to take. Please consider that I really wanna go to Uni, that’s probably most important before all else. What do i do? Any advice, help or support would be appreciated. thank you
