Then my dad told me that he and my mum were planning to go and see my head of year at school and see if I can repeat the year. I broke down in tears and said I didn't want to repeat the year. This is my last year of secondary school and there's so much pressure and I need and want to get into college but my attendance is not that good. I've only got 11 weeks left of school then the exams start.
I just so do not want to repeat the year, I've done so much already and I don't want to be left behind and I won't even have any friends if I do. I'm just really scared now, and it doesn't help the pressure on me. There's a half-term coming up and I'm going to try and go back to school full-time but I feel like I'm all alone with mountains of work and I have minimal encouragement from my parents. It's just really hard.
Sorry for being so ranty!

Understand your pain. Imagine I am in the same boat. I'm in college and haven't missed a day. Yet I have a teacher who doesn't teach and when the exam comes I am lost I have no earthly idea where she is gleaning material from. I feel like the world's biggest idiot and I may have to take this stupid class over again through no fault of my own. She wants us to think outside of the box I'm told. I almost interpret it as meaning different than the written instructions she has handed out.
