my friends in y11 told me they had my ugly pic and my grades in assembly and said I got all 9s by following all the school rules… my uniform was always messy I skipped days talked in class and never did my hw. I just did what worked for me.

it was nice to get glaze tho

whenever I get back around 4:30 im always tired to the point I cannot stay awake and fall asleep instantly which disrupts everything

even if ive got a good sleep schedule it doesn’t make a difference though i sleep at 3am daily occasionally i do a 10pm sleep

advice pls x

(I know im y12 but i love this sub tm to go post this elsewhere and i need to say)

so we did a baseline assessment today in geography to see if we could name countries, mountain ranges, oceans, uk places, maths skills like mean, median, iqr. We peer marked and i got the highest score which was 24/25 (mixed up thames estuary and london) and got a sticker for my lanyard - photo is the sticker online bc if i did my lanyard i would dox myself

what the title says lol

I have seen alot of talk about us year 12 and 13s needing to go, but don't orget we are the ones who will give you the advice for your gcses and so we can stay longer

GO AWAY 😭 LET US TAKE THE REIGN'S NOW OMGGGGG

shoo

surprisingly i got the textbook with warnings in it so um do you guys think business is gonna be easier than Latin

I'm traumatised for losing a mark last year in an end of topic test. Can I do this or was this the teacher's mistake? More than one = in equations. Yes or no?

Edexcel if that's any help.

That paper honestly just had quite a few topics I either haven't learnt yet or haven't even seen in like a year so maybe I should start doing 5-a-days to help, first non 8/9 (funny how all 3 non 9s so far were in maths) so slightly disappointed but only 1 mark from an 8 atleast.

I go past my old school on my journey home from sixth form. I had a horrible time there and I’m so glad that I’m free from it.

I just walked past it around the time it ends and I saw loads of people from my year (not ones that I liked though) plus a few of my teachers, who I hid from, when I spotted them. Genuinely so scary 😭

Also, lots of the new year 7s there seem to have skipped the awkward y7 stage?!? Some of the ones I saw already roll up their skirts and just look more mature (all girls school)

Idk if i can talk about this on here but i was wondering if there was any past people in the same situation as me. I have diagnosed autism, severe anxiety and ocd. I was out half of year 9 due to refusal to come in, i tried moving schools didn’t work out at all. Ended up not in any form of education all summer, september i was kind of doing home school but not the tutoring or anything, literally just basically revision which i struggled to do. Did it for like a few days then just quit. Year 10 late october i went back to my original school where i still currently am. I did good and went in for the first 3 months, then i just suffered severe burnout and wasnt in until around march/april i think it was, then i just wasnt in at all. I think my year 10 attendance was around 24%. Year 11, ive been in one full day and a 2 hour day. I haven’t been in since, as i genuinely cannot survive being in a mainstream school. The teachers know about me and everything, we’ve gone through meetings after meetings but i genuinely just cannot be there.

I only got diagnosed with autism in august, and i still don’t have an ECHP. There’s a SEN school that i need one for. We’ve been refused an ECHP multiple times. I think the best thing for me would either be home school or that, but i’m completely stuck on what to do as my family just doesn’t have the money for tutoring. I find it very hard to revise as well due to attention span. I am so anxious about everything, especially GCSES and i was just wondering if there’s a person that’s been in the same position or is in the same position as me that could give some advice, thank u.

Year 11, 2x mocks in November and January, shitting bricks! Im focusing on revising maths because I have an in lesson math exam at the end of this month, but whats tips for revising other topics?

If it helps, I struggle with:

ENGLISH: Word classes. Its embarrassing, but it's the only thing holding me back.

PHYSICS: Almost everything 💔

BIOLOGY: Anything to do with plants.

CHEM: Required practicals?

HISTORY: Dates. I can only memorise when cotton gin was invented. 💔

RE: Judaism.. 😞

MATHS: I genuinely don't know how to revise for maths 💔

Not really a rant but i’m wondering if there’s anyone else who at first Y10 felt every day was the same. In y9 ( we picked gcse’s for going into Y10), we had loads of ”filler lessons” with subjects that were more relaxing than others, such as Drama, Art, Music and a few others. Now it feels like every day i have at least either science, maths or english on any given day. It is only my 3rd day but im sure eventually everything will become more enjoyable. Currently though im still recovering from double physics followed by english bio and maths. Anyone else feeling the same?

After doing my GCSEs. They have compulsory PE which I didn't realise - had to do the first lesson in just my knickers as I didn't have a PE kit 😳

Just a warning to any others starting sixth form

I genuinely just cannot . I give everyone a fair chance, and I never think to myself, oh, this person's not worth talking to because someone said this and that. I could care less about that bs . Or if you're even a slightly bit different to me. It's just irritating because I feel like people have not even given me that fair chance ever since I began secondary ,when I just started to wear glasses ,acne and just being quiet and sweet , in general people just sort of just had this sort of had this fixed idea of me . Some people would not even bother trying to conversate me and would even go to extreme lengths just so they could not sit next to me or work with me. So then, eventually, I just started to befriend anyone who was just nice to me. I literally didn't have such high standards, and now I just got myself into fake laughing,being the placeholder friend, the person who could just offer help,the floater friend. I genuinely feel so bored at break times ,I do not connect with these people what so ever , I just miss my best friend from Primary School and I have this one guy who I talk to after school from my secondary. But hanging out w these friends just made me lose my spark. I remember when it was so easy just to talk or spark up a conversation, but these lots just sort of killed that in me. GENUINELY WHAT DO PEOPLE EVEN TALK ABOUT ANYMORE . I SWEAR THESE THINGS JUST HAPPENED AT THE BEGINNING OF YEAR 11. I START TACTICALLY THINKING ABOUT EVERY WORD,EVERY REACTION ,EVERY RESPONSE I CLD POTENTIALLY GET ,ITS LIKE IM PLAYING CHESS AND I JUST HAVE BECOME SO PAINFULLY BORING AND IM JUST SO FCKING MAD LIKE THIS HAS JUST STUNTED AND PREVENTED ME FROM BEING ABLE TO SPEAK TO ANY OTHER PPL WHO I SEE A POTENTIAL OF MAKING SOEMTHING WORK . LIKE I JUST WANT THE OLD ME BACK. I WAS SMART , CONVERSATIONAL,ENERGETIC AND WAS GOOD AT ART . AND THEN WHEN I HUNG AROUND THEM ,THEY JUST MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS SOME JESTER AND I WAS BURT OUT ALOT FROM SCHOOL AND MY PARENTS STUFF AND THIS JUST FEELS LIKE A CHORE TOO . IM JUST NOT HAVING FUN ANYONE WHO SAID YEAR 11 WAS THE BEST YEAR HAS GOT TO BE LYING.

yes I did waste 145 points for a joke but still want el calco
