Is it okay to drop out of sixth form with 5 months left?
I never really wanted to do A-levels and only went into it after feeling pressure of not liking the colleges in my area. I’m currently in year 13 with only a couple months left until I’m finish but I’m so unhappy there. I can’t keep up with work load (I already dropped out of one a level) and there’s nothing else teachers can do to help. It’s been very taxing on my mental health and it’s been the worst 2 years of my life. Although I’m 18 the school and my parents won’t let me drop out and encourage me to stay until the end. I really don’t want to stay there and I want to prioritise my mental health. I have no plans on going to university and don’t really see a reason to carry on. Also, due to my mental health I’m failing very badly and my predictions grades aren’t great. I don’t know if I should stay and put up with it or just not go and force them to kick me out…

its just 5 more months i know you are very stressed right now but try and relax, calm down and believe in yourself. You can do this. if you have put up with it for a little under 2 years, then you can put up with it for 5 more months. it will go by really quick, there is still time for you to make an academic comeback, get back on your feet and try again. Even if you fail your a levels atleast you did all you could. Regret is the worst feeling in life. Even if you don't want to go to university, wouldn't you like feeling that you have the option to even if you truly don't want to, wouldn't it still be an accomplishment of some sort to finish 6th form and also make you further qualified for future jobs. YOU CAN DO THIS. DON'T GIVE UP NOW. YOU GOT THIS.

I understand where you are coming from, but I would strongly advise you to stick with it at this point. You're so close, so you may as well make the 2 years worth something. Put up with it for another few months, by now it's probably only like 1 month left as your post was a while ago. That way you can come out of the 2 years with at least some qualifications. If you don't pass, that's fine - you've done everything you could, so don't stress about it. But if you do pass, you'll be coming out of it with some qualifications so that whatever the heck happens next in your life, whatever you choose to do, whatever life throws at you, you'll always have some qualifications backing you up. It will give you so much more freedom when choosing what to do with your life, and you'll know you've always got something to fall back on.🙂

Yeah would recommend dropping out ASAP, especially as you are feeling the pressure. Do whats best for you. I'm doing 6 A levels and have got my sights set on UEL! You could always go through clearing, think Oxford sometimes let you in with 0 UCAS points? But not 100% sure. JP Morgan have got apprenticeships available aswell that you could always get. Remember, its always best to give up when it gets tough.
