ok so this is gonna be a long one, buckle up!
so i'm in year 10 and it's a long story but i got kicked out of school this march. i spent a month or so basically having given up on having a future getting high everyday, until i really deeped the fact i don't wanna end up homeless and jobless and decided i want to take animal care in college.
i really struggle with being in school since the pandemic , my bpd and other mh issues means i probably won't be able to be in school full time again and definitely not mainstream.
i've had a lot of visits and meetings with different inclusion officers, social workers, etc etc. however, rn i feel really lost. i need to pass 5 gcses to get into the course i want, i'm being told i should only sit english, maths and science, it was phrased as just advice but it just feels like advice i was forced to accept. this is just not what i want, the course isn't essential to the job i want to do but it'll really help and it's really important to me. i also don't feel like i'm being supported at all in studying, i've been basically teaching myself all the content for english, science, and history since april. it all just seems so overwhelming.
there's a lot of things i need advice for that i'm just not getting from the people meant to be supporting me.
my main questions are,
is it possible to sit the other two gcses i need to get into college even though i've been told i can only do my corr subjects?
what resources, websites, etc are out there that can help me stay on track and be sure i'm prepared for exams next year?
