Original post by ApplePi55

Ill volunteer! What can I do to help?

If you could create a draft in this forum: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=1223 (the forum is likely to be empty for you, but you'll be able to see your own post), in time for Friday, that would be super :h:

Then I can just have a quick check over it and will publish it with the others :yep:

Thank you for volunteering!

I'll be up for making a new year 9 thread :smile:

I have a potential year 8 going into year 9 who did say a few weeks ago they'd like to, so I'll follow up with that and get back to you if that's alright?

No it's okay :smile:

They can do the year 9 thread, it will be good for a year 8 student to get the opportunity to make a year 9 thread

Will it let you start a thread in there? You shouldn't be able to see any other threads in there, it's a forum you can only see threads you've started in :yep:

Hey guys,

I've seen a few people on here comment that they're worried about starting Year 10. As somebody who is currently going into Year 11, my main piece of advice is not to put pressure on yourselves. I went into Year 10 with the wrong mindset because I had mocks for a subject (it was a weird experience and rather a long story), so I stressed myself out and revised to the point where I eventually burnt myself out.

As a Year 10 , especially after Covid and lockdown, you do not want to burn yourselves out. I was still at such a young stage of my GCSE journey, and because I was so tired of revising I started to worry and convince myself that I would fail. Luckily I didn't, but my first set of mocks taught me that my performance can be affected by how I am feeling. Now I am a lot more sensible and I have finally learnt my lesson. I will admit, these mocks were under some bizarre circumstances and their results decided whether I studied a certain subject or not, but I still wish I had acted in a more calm and posed manner.

Enjoy yourselves, be with your friends, do not panic and fill your days with laughter. Because this is your youth, your life and you do not want to look upon it with sadness. Fill it with memories, because like @Nevi mentioned in a previous post the importance of GCSEs is often overexaggerated. The value of loving a subject and forming stable friendships is so much more useful in life. I'm not saying don't revise and don't aim for the highest grades you possibly can, I'm saying don't revolve your life around defining yourself through GCSEs.

Good luck!
