hating sixth form

i ended up at a sixth form that i absolutely hate and its far too late to switch now. i have applied to loads of different places and none of them will accept me a year late.
the issue with my school is that ive been there since year 7 and never had a solid group of friends that i could turn to, ive just been a massive floater
i really tried to branch out this year but my year group is so cliquey that i genuinely havent gotten anywhere
i really want to get my alevels done to be able to go to uni somewhere that i want, but i dont know how much longer i can put up with all these people i hate and having no close friends
im sorry for how negative this is but im genuinely giving up on life and i dont know what to do
if anyone has any advice on how to get through this id really appreciate it

heyy I’m so sorry that ur going through this :/ I understand that school can be such a drag and rlly difficult when you don’t have a solid group of friends you can rely on, are there some new externals ?? Maybe you could try talking to them and seeing if you can make friends with them, or maybe there is a spot at school where you could just chill out and do something you like at break/lunch ?? sometimes I like going to the library at lunch and just watch my favourite shows when my friends aren’t around. Idk how much of this will help but I’d be more than happy to exchange socials w u if you want someone to talk about it with 🫶

Hi, I'm in a similar position to you slightly it's so hard feeling like nobody wants to include you in their group and you miss out on any of their plans. I was the exact same as you in my old school in the fact I had no group so I moved schools however it hasn't proven successful everyone is equally as cliquey there and it's so hard to integrate. I've put my absolute all into trying to make friends and find my group but it's not working. I just feel like I'm not living my teenage years to the fullest i dont have a group to do fun things w like festivals and parties and I dont get invited to any and I hate it. I keep telling myself that uni will be better, I'll get somewhere- I'm scared that the outcome will be the same though. But honestly I think theres no point moving schools as it may not even be better instead I'm going to just use this to my advantage and properly lock in so I can get good grades to go to any uni I want. Keep going and when the right people come they'll come :smile: Also, if u want my socials too we can swap them if u want <3
