Sixth Form and Friends

many others will be in the same boat. I used to go around and talk to other people in the canteen.

The problem is that I am staying in my own sixth form and everyone knows each other and noone really likes me so it will be hard to make friends with them

You will still get people from other schools. I'd advise making friends with them. But on the plus side you will be less distracted during your frees... they are for doing work after all.

Thank you and does everyone still have lunchtime and breaktime at the same time...

My friends will taking 4-5 a-levels so they may have a lesson where I have a free period and I am worried because in the sixth form centre it is usually really filled up and I will be sitting by my own in which it will be embarrasing.

Hi, I will be going into sixth form and I am very worried because I don't have many friends and this is a problem as I am taking 3 A-levels, I will have free periods and in my sixth form people usually hang around with their friends or go places... My friends will taking 4-5 a-levels so they may have a lesson where I have a free period and I am worried because in the sixth form centre it is usually really filled up and I will be sitting by my own in which it will be embarrasing. In science there is alot of practical work and this was a problem in GCSE where I had noone to work with, this may eb a problem in sixth form as well. I got good GCSE results ( could've done better if there wasn't the friends situation) and I wish to do well in my A-levels too but if I have to worry about this everyday it may ultimately affect my grades
Does anyone have any advice

Is this really the kind of thing people other than myself find embarassing?

I just finished sixth form and will be starting uni, throughout sixth form I only had 3 friends I would talk to on a regular basis 2 of which I could talk with openly. So I guess you could say I only had two real friends, friends who I still talk to today. Its not about how many friends you have it's about who you have. As for the frees in the first 2-3 weeks you wont have much work to do. After that the work load gets intense. I personally would advise you to use your frees to your advantage and do work in them.

Were there people in your sixth form that would revise in every free period as that is the best option for me

Not every free period they would take some breaks but I saw that when exam time was nearing. I would advise you to do any work you need to do in your frees and make revision notes/materials as you go along. Do not wait a few months before your exams to make all your notes, make them before as you learn about a topic.

I think that there will be people studying in their free periods, at the college I'm going to there is a silent study area, which has separate desks not tables so no one would know if you were with your friends or not. Do you know that there isn't somewhere like this at your sixth form? If not, I'd just say sit at a table with a few other people at it, who look like they're doing some work not just talking. This way, other people who come into the library won't know that they're not your friends won't laugh at you. You might even make some friends this way, who you could hang around with during your frees because a lot of people will be in the same boat as you. I hope it goes alright for you, I'm really worried about starting college too.

People are nicer at a level compared to gcse

Also, are you allowed to take food (packed lunch or canteen food) into the sixth form centre in free's and lunchtimes?
