Ds royally screwed up mocks, had a shitty couple of years with MH so data will be all over the place. From good/ ok to low.Was under CAMHs. Bright kid who had everything set to pull off what he needed in exams which we are pretty sure he would have done.Had worked hard on MH and started revision, was working hard and was starting to pull everything together for the revision period at home. Was looking forward to being away from school and cracking on with things. Exam measures in place.
He is in such a state as looking at the data we’ve got it’s clear he may not get what was needed for Alevels. The GCSEs of 2 of his Alevel courses will be good we think. 7s maybe 8s but he needs a couple of supporting GCSEs for 2 subjects that should be fine fingers crossed, but maybe not. He also had to get 8 GCSEs and we’re thinking there is a high chance he may end up only with 7.
He’s in such a state and all the good work we’d put into things I fear is going to be undone.We’ll be at work so he’ll be home fretting without us to rationalise things. Can’t say look at the bigger picture as escalating CV world worries on top won’t be helpful and I’m trying to keep scaremongering at a minimum, limiting news etc.
Somebody on another thread suggested studying for retakes to deflect things which is a good idea but we don’t know which would need that and it’s a bit soul destroying iykwim.
I’ve said 6th form college will be understanding but can’t promise that.
Anybody else in a similar situation and what are you doing to get through the next few very long months of inactivity and worry?
Just to say I get there are bigger things to worry about but teens are teens and MH isn’t something you can just get them to snap out of.
