Would be better to tag under sixth form but TSR won’t let you be anonymous lol
I’m currently in year 12 and I really don’t like my sixth form;; the school itself is good, my courses are fine and my teachers are great but I can’t help but feel miserable everyday
I don’t really like my cohort, and while some people are nice, a lot of them already have established friend groups or are people I just don’t what to hang out with (I know it’s bad to judge, but I don’t want to hang out with the crowd that party and stuff)
I have one of my best friends from secondary, who I love so so much, but I still feel so lonely? We have some friends and a little kind of established friend group, but she’s closer to them because they share a form group, and to be completely honest they’re not my kind of people;; I know it’s important to meet all kinds of people but I don’t feel any connection or like I could ever be close, and I know friendships take time but I’m so unbelievably lonely and it’s sucks so much
I hope it’ll get better but honestly I don’t know if it will… I just have the constant worry that I’ll never make new friends whereas all my current friends will have new ones ;;; I’ve always been someone to value the people I love and not need anything else but now that we’re all in different sixth forms I’ve realised that meeting new people …
I tried to email another sixth form to try and do late enrolment but I did it way too late and it was completely full it’s a bit embarrassing to say but I literally cry all the time, maybe out of disappointment or stress or hopelessness
I really wish I had emailed sooner and I think I’ll regret this for so so long
At the other sixth form I wanted to go to, there’s more people and more people I know there, plus it’s more “artsy” in a way so I feel like I would’ve met more people like me that I could’ve been friends with It’s the only other one I wanted to go to because others are either not my kind of environment or too far
I cry almost everyday and I just feel awful, and I still try to do my best in my studies but I genuinely feel at an all time low and I’m thinking that honestly I might not be able to survive in uni (which people say is even worse) and never find friends or my people
I’m lucky that I have family and friends who I love and who care about me and I think they’re part of the reason why I haven’t literally gone crazy lol, it feels awful because I compulsively just think about if I had decided to enrol at the other sixth form instead
Again my teachers are really good, the pastoral care is good and everything is kind of nice but I can’t stop the bitter feeling and I literally tear up and cry quietly in class and I’m only 2 months in but I feel so crap … I know that my studies are most important but I feel terrible and lonely and I can’t genuinely enjoy myself around others but I want to, but I don’t like them or I just don’t feel connected enough and I feel so so hopeless

i had to change sixth form and leave all my frinds behind and then i made friends with a group in my new sixth form that i wasnt 100% with either, but trust me i jus started uni like 3 weeks ago and sixth form goes by quickkkk its just 2 years of your life with most of it spent in exams, so just focus on your studies, bc a levels are so much harder than university exams or gcsess!! i let my disappointment and paranoia get to me and it set me back and i ended up not doing so well even after i realised that it doesnt matter what actually happened before, but dont do that!! im guessing you changed schools for sixth form so everyone has established groups, but beacuse everyone is new at university, everyone is more or less in the same boat again, trying to make new friends, and you will make better friendss!! dont give up hopee!!

hiya luv, i’m a current undergraduate student in my first year at uni and i honestly feel the same! i too am yet to find my people! like you, i have managed to make a couple friends, however haven’t really clicked with them on a deeper level, and it’s a shame too as they seem lovely!
i feel like the friends i’ve made have become a lot closer, since they’re in the same seminar groups, so i too feel like the odd one out! i’ve debated trying to move on and find other people to talk to, but it’s just so hard, especially since many people don’t strike the welcoming type. there’s also the case that i don’t want to loose the bit of friendship i have with them! also, none of my friends go to the same uni as me; my bsf is now in a completely different town too, which makes going to uni so much more daunting. on my second day i came back and litt bawled my eyes out cus i had no one, my mom litt got concerned too, hahaha! so, pls don’t put urself down for it! also, i hate my uni and my course! there’s not a day that i haven’t looked back and regretted my decision! as i don’t feel joy in what i do, or where i am, it’s easy to feel miserable! i’m debating transferring unis to do a new course and perhaps meet new people, but it’s a hard one to make. to start over is one thing, but the chances of the situation being the same there too is still pretty high, and i feel like that too is something you need to reflect upon! maybe try getting to know some other people in your sixthform? there may be several people with similar interests as u, so it wouldn’t hurt to go around and at least say hi! you never know, it could blossom into something beautiful! if it doesn’t work out, maybe try applying to a different sixthform at the start of the next academic year? but, just give it a chance at least! you got this!
