leaving secondary school

thorn

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

  • I enjoyed my education. Learning was good most of the time and I did okay with my grades. My troubles with school was that the complex was huge and there was a lot of people and a lot of noise! That was hard and led to a lot of burnout. I was tired all the time and anxiety was giving me a thrashing and a half. I still don't really know how I made it to the end. Safe to say I would never go back. Once was enough.

    When I finished I took some time out to relax and think about what I wanted to do. I think that's a good place to start for you. Have a look at what's around and what you may be interested in. It doesn't have to be immediate you can take your time and see what may suit you best whether it's education again or going into a career.

    Whatever you choose I wish you the best of luck ahead.
