Failed GCSEs

I dont know where to post this but I failed all of my GCSEs despite only taking 5 subjects because of my mental health and re doing a school year. I dont think any sixth form will accept me I dont know what to do

Hiya - I am so sorry to hear you have had a rough time today with your results, it can feel like the whole world is crashing down but I promise it is not.

There are always options going forward - Take a breather and speak to your school and see if they have any suggestions? Plenty of places will consider resits, they happen! It's best to reach out to your local options with a quick email or call and ask, then you will have some concrete answers and paths forward to work with.

Whatever happens, you can do this! It might feel like a setback, but everyone goes through their school journey different don't panic too much 🙂

Best of luck!

Parent/health professional here:
I’m very sorry this is the case. Try not to despair. It’s a setback but you are young and you WILL get through this. I hope your family/friends are supporting you. It sounds like you need continued support for your mental health so that you are in a better place to study and focus on academic work. Talk to your school and see what they can do to help. Explore all options when you have a clear head. Presumably you have sought advice from your GP? In the meantime, be kind to yourself. Your results do not define you. Go and do something nice that makes you feel better. Try to stay off social media where people are posting their results. Good luck.
