Don't have a passion

Hey there! I'm currently choosing my GCSE options. I've chosen my first three(Geo, Spanish and Music) but I have no idea what to choose for the fourth one. I don't know what I'm doing to do when I grow up and I don't really have hobbies. Can someone help?

what are your options for the rest? there's really only two things you need to consider for gcse options:
do you enjoy it?
are you good at it?

then once you've narrowed it down, think about it a bit. if you physically cannot decide, literally choose the one you'll get a higher grade in or the one you're likely to have a better teacher in. OMLY DO THIS AS A LAST RESORT AND ONLY FOR NON CORE GCSES

Yeah I agree
Choose subjects you like.Tbf later on in the year you realize that they all are similiar in difficulty and it doesnt change on how well you do since Im here who revised 3 years of content in 1 week 😵
But defintley choose subjects you enjoy - or teachers that are good. this is actually important since it determines in the long-term if you will do well in school ofc
Hope this helped in some way and good luck!

Can you elaborate? You're regretting without having had a single lesson yet?

so basically,my school starts the courses in september. I regret it bc my parents forced me to do computer science and I heard it's really hard

you can drop and change subjects in the first 3 months in most schools but depends on how many are in the class and how hard it might be to catch up. It's your life not your parents so if you're not happy, speak to your teachers and make the changes sooner rather than later.

omg this was literally me haha I reccomend you should change it as soon as possible but also dont rely on what everyone else thinks, because all subjects are bound to be hard for different people.
I dont really enjoy computer science but I have the exam tmrw and I do quite well in the subject so you could try it but only if you already find it somewhat enjoyable
