leaving secondary school

hi! i recently finished secondary school (as in i literally took my last gcse yesterday lol) and now i'm worried on what my next steps are. i wasn't able to be physically in school, i stopped going physically in year 7 and didn't have any sort of education for 3/4 years up until september 2021 where i took an online course to work towards sitting my english language and maths gcses. now once you finish secondary school, you of course have to be in education for another 2 years until you're 18 which is where i'm now stuck. i'd love to be able to go to college like everyone else my age but it was bad enough in a smaller environment, let alone an even bigger one. it also doesn't help that i have no idea what i want to do for a career so i am veryyy lost rn! if anyone has any experience on what they did / are planning to do once they finish(ed) school, it'd be rly helpful! thank u :D

  • Hi,

    Congratulations on making it through secondary school! Lol I hated school, absolute nightmare from start to finish for me.

    Now you've finished this gives you a lot of time to chill and relax. There's no rush. Just take your time and think about what you may want to do. What do you enjoy? You could use things you enjoy and like and then use them to go into something amazing. I love tennis and knew when I was still at school I'd do this if I could. And I did. I'm not a worldwide famous player but I do this now and I love it Slight smile

    There are so many things you can do. And there is still lots of time so don't overthink and worry about it all at once.

  • thank you so much! i hated school too lol, i'll definitely think about things that i enjoy and hopefully find a course that fits! ^_^
