Hello, I’m 18 years old and earlier this year I dropped out of my A levels due to mental health problems. I was looking online trying to find information about dropping out and I realised there wasn’t much out there, and a lot of what I saw was very negative. As a result, I’ve created an online platform called Dropout Support Network (or DSN for short) for people who have left school/ college/ university early for whatever reason. Currently DSN is based on Instagram and the username is @dropoutsupportnetwork. I’ve also set up a closed Facebook group which can be accessed via the Instagram account. If you, your child or someone else you know has dropped out of some form of education and would like to see supportive content and hear the stories of other dropouts, I’d really appreciate it if you/ they gave DSN a follow. DISCLAIMER: DSN is not a business or a registered charity, it is run exclusively by me and I am not trying to make any money by posting on here. Moreover, I am not a trained professional and therefore I am unable to give specific advice or provide a therapeutic outlet.
