we are both in first year of college, I have went down the route of alevels, planning to do a law degree and left secondary with 10 gcses. my boyfriend on the other hand left with 3 gcses and is resitting maths at the same college as me. he seems to have no drive to revise or to work; only revising when i suggest/ask him to, this makes me feel frustrated, knowing that if he does badly in exams it impacts his mood.
i dont really want to take on the role to push him to revise, but he does not have this encouragement from his parents; but at the end of the day this is not my responsibility.
i dont really know what to do; i think he has trouble concentrating and that secondary school just gave up on him (he was the type of kid who would be rewarded for not throwing a chair at the teacher); do i push him? i would do it because i love him, but he is very sensitive and would become stroppy with me.
i dont really know what he wants to do in the future, he hasnt decided if he wants to go to uni. the other day i had to set up his ucas profile for him, as he had been skipping form for the past month to "revise"
at the end of the day he is a good guy and i know that work isnt everything, but myself coming from a disadvantaged background i want to hit the ground running to help my future.
does anyone have any advice :/
