I’m year 11 and I’m dropping out

hi I start my GCSEs in June I think and I’ve decided to drop out because my mental health is in a bad state I’m a constant mess and I’m crying all the time and I would like some advice from people who live In Leeds that have dropped out of school and applied for Leeds city college I’ve done both of my interviews at the college and I would like to know if they support kids who drop out of school I’ll be homeschooled and I will find a way to do my GCSEs

Hey, sorry you’re feeling like this. GCSEs can get really overwhelming.
Leeds City College does support students from different backgrounds, including people who’ve struggled in school or taken a different route. They’ve got support services and tutors you can talk to, so you wouldn’t be on your own.
If you can, try speaking to someone you trust as well (family, school, GP) before making a final decision. Your health comes first, but it’s good to keep your options open.
You’re not stuck; there are always other ways to get your GCSEs and move forward
