I need a BBC, but I'm currently at all Us and my teachers say that there's no way I'm going to get anything more than one grade higher which is still a fail anyway so what's the point

I know I can do it, but I just have no motivation and they're making it worse
It's kinda my own fault though I know that

I think the worst thing about when you have no motivation is when you sort of beat yourself up about the fact you haven’t done any work, which makes you not want to do more work because you feel like you’ve already wasted too much time. Trust me, that is not the case, I also believe in you.

You have around 6-8 weeks maybe depending on your chosen subjects, which is a good amount of time.

Try your best not to think about the time that’s already past but think about the time you still have, yes you may not have done work during the holidays but beating yourself up about it won’t allow you to do what you need to do.

Are you able to stay back after school?

Thanks for that :smile:
Yeah, I can stay behind on most days, I think I'll start doing that more often

It is not problem! When you start your academic comeback tomorrow don’t be too hard on yourself and don’t listen to the teachers honestly, I brought my grades up from D and Cs to As in a month and if I can do that, you can bring your grades from Us to BBC. What A levels do you take ?

I feel the exact same way lol, I want to do well and I have a university I want to go to, but I just have no motivation and its getting closer and closer, I feel guilty as I could do more, I just have no motivation and I really want to do well, so don't worry im sure there's a lot of people in the same boat, I just don't know how to have motivation again
