GCSE results bittersweet
Notifications OFF
So he got his results and has done so well. The world should be his oyster, yet we have this hanging over us. I'm so scared that he will start sixth form, only to have to leave when we get the outcome of this :-(
Just reflecting on what should be such a happy day and it is, but it's like there's a black cloud on the periphery...
Love to all xx

Celebrate his results, we had the same feelings after our son got his apprentice results.. take care..
We had this last year with my son, he got the best grades 7,8,9s and top distinctions in other subjects. Then the knock and bail. Luckily he had things put in place to allow him to go to 6th form. Safeguarding at 6th form had to be involved.
Fast forward a year and his first year didn't go to plan. He struggled with anxiety and stress so at end of first year he dropped one A levels and changed to 2 separate subjects. This means he's no chance of going to local university.
So even though we are sure he's not intentionally done anything wrong I feel his life is already ruined because of this.

Thanks for your replies.
My son also got mainly 7, 8 and 9's.
He has so far been able to stay at school, but I'm not sure that would continue if he got charged and out on register etc :-(
Sorry to hear your son is struggling.
It is hard to not think they have ruined their lives isn't it, when it should be such an exciting time for them.
Hugs xx

Crushed, well done to your son on doing so well in his GCSE'. I agree with Dad, celebrate his achievement, he's worked hard for it.
Ajustcopingparent, I know it's hard watching the life you thought your son would have changing over night, but a change in direction doesn't have to mean an end to his plans. Not being able to go to University at the age of 18 and not being able to do the course and career he once planned, doesn't have to mean he won't be able to have a career. It might take him a few years longer to get there, but if university is what he wants to do, then there are different routes to gaining the UCAS tariff points needed for the entry requirements to get in.

Hi Ocean, I know there are alternative ways to get to uni because didn't it myself with access course. Its just college was supposed to be new start because he didn't settle at school but did still come out with top grades. His first day of college was a disaster in more ways than one and he changed direction on day one didn't want to do computer programming anymore. I'm not sure if thats because of this or fact someone from school was in class. This particular child we think could potentially be linked to the knock. So he changed to A levels to study zoology. He's determined that is his chosen career no matter what. All I can do is pray this nightmare is over quickly and despite my reservations he thrives if living away from home. Issue will be my own anxiety particular fact of what he's gone/going through.
