Honestly, GCSEs matter... until they don't, which is about 2 weeks into 6th form or if your uni course needs a 5 in maths or something. If you have a valid reason that you didn't well then at a 6th form open day speak to the pastoral care or head of pupil support or someone with a similar title and explain your situation or arrange a meeting and they will show a lot of sympathy and respect for the fact that you managed to do so many GCSEs while going through something don't discount yourself and you've got this!!!

Thanks !! I was motivated but i went through an identity crisis right before gcse's and basically just flushed subjects down the drain , Weather this is enough for some sympathy im not too sure but ill give it a try , Thanks again !!
