Year 11 soon to be leavers
I've just had a realisation that once GCSEs are over school is over, meaning no seeing friends, teachers, the normal routine. This is actually kinda worrying me more than sitting my actual GCSEs.I don't think that i would've actually ever said this but l like school (perhaps it's because i've forgotten all the bad things that have happened) i am going to miss all of the little things like lunch periods, normality and even just seeing people in the corridors even if they aren't in my class/year or teach me its just the normality of seeing them.I know it has to end some day but i don't want it to!
For some annoying reason I get very emotional and easily form attachments about these sort of things so have you got any coping strategies for leaving school and moving on/letting go? I'm trying to think of bad reasons that will make me want to leave like i guess the change of the new younger years coming and the lack of room we have in the canteen, the pressure constant revision and exams, the horrible seating plans, siting next to people who make me on edge bc of their intelligence and then expectations of me ... but i can't really think of more as i feel like college is going to be way worse than any of these seem.

Hi There
We hear that you have started to think about what will happen when you leave Year 11. It sounds like you have started to think about how college will be different to school and the difference in routine. Change can often be exciting but it can make us feel apprehensive because we’ve never done it before. Often talking things through can help to navigate how you are feeling right now. This could be with some that you trust like a Friend, Family Member or a Trusted Teacher. It could even be with someone from the college that you are hoping to go to 🧑*🏫
We encourage you to take a look at the Young Minds website which has some great resources about moving from school to higher education. It may also be helpful for you to take a look at the Mind website as they have specific Mental Health support for anyone who is aged between 11-18 🫶
You have done really well to use this space to be honest about how you are feeling. If you are feeling like suicide is an option right now then you can call Hopeline247 on 0800 068 4141 or Text us on 88247 to speak with a trained Suicide Prevention Adviser who will be more than happy to help 💟

Honestly I have the same thing going on, but it's prob because of a major change my parents are still deciding on. They're planning to send me to a country I used to live in on my own. Which is fricking terrifying especially as a female and bc I'll have no one. I've travelled alone before but to live alone at 16 is just mental. It's gonna take some time for us to get used to the new life but all we can do is wait and see.
Oh my i thought my situation was bad, moving to another country sounds even scarier!! Wishing you much luck and comfort in the future ! ☹️
