It's always really disappointing to not get the results you wanted, but there are several things I tell myself. (Trust me, I get bad results a lot :L).
1) They are, at the end of the day, only results for education. We're told from a very young age that education is the only way to success, but that's a lie!
. My sisters boyfriend for example, is currently doing an apprenticeship for an engineering company. That's always something to think about.
2) You can re-take the year. It sounds ****ty because you'll be a year above everyone, but that might make you focus more. I'm not saying you didn't focus, but the jump up from GCSE to A level is a huge shock for 90% of people. You can't really **** around, so being a year above people could actually work out to be a positive thing (just think how good it will be next year, if you do this, to open your results and see all A's/A*s
)
3) There are worse things in life. I'm about to go get my A2 results, knowing full well that I've completely failed. But I just keep telling myself that worst things can happen! It puts the whole A level thing into perspective.
I hope you're feeling better, and please do remember that A levels/education in general are not the only way to achieve success. I have another friend, for example, who finished last year with AAAB in her AS's but dropped out at A2. She now has an apprenticeship with a solicitors firm, earns 10k a year at 18 and after 4 years, she will be qualified for a job that will earn around 30k or 40k a year! So please don't stress too much about education!
