I Am Confused

I got my AS results today, and although did really well overall and I passed the subjects I need to get into next year, I hate the sixth form/college (I live in england) I am at and I don't know what to do next. The two friends I have at college are both leaving and spending next year somewhere new. So I can either stay here, unhappy but knowing it's likely I'll pass, or I can go to a college where I know I have friends but I'm not familiar with the teaching - and I'd also have to go to the effort of organising enrolment there too. I don't know what to do, whether to stay or go. I hate it where I am but I'm terrified of changing it in case I fail.

If you do hate your current school, and the 2 friends you have are leaving, I'd say it's a better idea to follow them & learn the new teaching - being alone at a school you hate is a prime recipe for failure, or at the least for disappointing results compared to what you should achieve. Take the risk, it's unlikely your friends are switching to a -worse- school

@firefall Oh one of them is stopping A Levels entirely and the other may go there or somewhere else! But I have other friends at the school I would transfer to so that's better than my current one. I think I might need to leave :) thank you!

@loveyourselfalways00 oic - well, yes, if you're going somewhere to friends, that's good. Glad if I helped :)

Hi you must have taken your A Level exams by now I hope your last year at 6th form went OK and you get the results you want next month.

hi loveyourselfalways00
hate is a strong emotion. Follow your name: loveyourselfalways00!
Do not make yourself unhappy.
Examine options I guess and if you decide to stay do not hate it. See what you could do to make it better.
Best wishes
:)

@sogdianrock I genuinely can't not hate it. I have no friends (other than the two who are leaving), there is no signal in the area and the wifi is restricted, they treat us like we are in high school, and I just can't face being lonely and being stuck in that place for another year. But I still am scared for the other options as I don't know what they'll hold. All I know is I'm more likely to be happy in those places.

I would say you should make the effort and look into leaving, but take care to make sure they are following your existing sylubuses.

@MrAverage1965 I ended up staying,I did look into leaving but I would've had to retake the year!
