Struggling with GCSE's

I'm doing my GCSE's and struggling hard so I can get good results so I can go on to better things in the future. But this time I'm struggling. I don't know why. My main studies are in English and drama. Both I feel are strong subjects for me and I have a special interest in them which I feel gives me an edge. I hope it does anyway. My writing is my best skill and what I do best in at school. I'm 16 now and finish up next year but I'm really struggling with it at the moment. I wonder if I've got burnout. I'm exhausted and I have no drive at all for this or much else even listening to my favourite songs isn't helping me. 

My mum said not to panic and it's a blip and I'll get there but I don't like it. I find it irritating extremely irritating. 

I entered a book writing contest and I haven't heard back yet. Worried my writing isn't as good now and I'll fail in my studies. Still have drama but that's not going great either. 

  • Hi I know ha it's been ages. I've got a lot of catching up to do. I hope your speaking exam goes well. 

    I'm not doing much reading at the moment. Hopefully soon. 

    Unfortunately I'm in school until next year as I turned 16 after the new school term started. A few weeks earlier I wouldn't have had to Rolling eyes so got to wait until July 2023.

    Hoping I can get back on track ASAP.
