So at the start of the year, I started at college, and I found the first few days awful. I told my parents about this, and rather than telling me to wait and see how it went, they gave me the offer of a private school. I told them that I'd consider it, but they decided that they were going to enforce it and push me to this sixth form at private school. They beleve, that since I didn't get any A's at GCSE, that this school is suddenly going to make me super academic like I used to be in year 7.
One of the problems that I have here is that school is from 8 am - 5:30 pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and from 8 am - 3:30 pm on Wednesday and Saturday.
Another problem is that all of my friends are going to college or the sixth form of my secondary school. Personally, I'd have liked to have gone to the sixth form of my secondary school.
At the private school, the atmosphere and work ethic is totally different, and you can't even go off site until the end of the day, and uniform is compulsory.
I've tried bringing these issues up with my parents, and also about how I am just downright miserable there. I approached them about halfway through this last half term, and talked to them about moving, and they told me to deal with it and learn how to turn a negative experience into a positive one, and about how no other school will ever provide the support that I need to get 'back on track', after my failed GCSEs (5 & 3 in English, C's in computer science, physics, chemistry and bio, and B in Geo, history, and RE, and a 5 in maths.
I am also currently taking 4 A-levels, which everyone apart from the people at private school are telling me I am mad. I disslike 2 of my A-levels, and all of my teachers apart from one. Most of my teachers dislike me too, I presume because of my different work ethic and how long its taking me to adjust. (I'm taking Physics, D&T, Computer Science and Geography, and dislike the first two.)
Also, I am taking speech and drama exams.
I feel like my life and head are both in quite a mess at the moment, also due to having recently broken up with my girlfreind of two years.
If I try to talk with my parents about any of these issues, they just tell me that I should learn to deal with it, and it'll get better, and I'll get friends at private school eventually. If i tell them that I don't like my teachers, I get told that I'll come across people that I don't like lots in life and should learn to deal with it at a younger age. I tried to talk to them about dropping an A level, and they called me a quitter. If I try to talk to them about disliking private school, they tell me that I keep going in circles with what I say, and to listen to what they say and ill enjoy it in the end.
I don't know how to deal with this at the moment, especially since I have so little free time to see my friends because I spend all my time at school.
Don't really have a clue what to do, I'm trying to keep my chin up, but its becoming especially difficult, especially because i don't really have anyone to talk to anymore after splitting with my girlfriend (but splitting was best for us, especially me)
