π€ Asking For Advice/Help please , if anyone reads this, donβt just ignore it even a little bit of advice would mean a lot to me
im 16, nd i only took one IGCSE subject in the May/June 2026 session ( phy ) unfortunately , i got a really bad grade ik it was my own fault cause i didnβt focus or study properly
my parents keep tellin me that Iβm wasting their money, that i should just give up cause i canβt do it, and that Iβm running out of time, they feel like i havenβt achieved anything yet, and they want me to finish my exams as quickly as possible
i only have five subjects, and sometimes i feel like Iβve fallen so far behind everyone else my age my parents have lost hope in me, and they keep demotivating me uh i genuinely donβt know what to do next - can i still do A Levels with my situation? will universities accept me, or have i already ruined my chances of getting into university?
i overthink all of this at night, to the point where i canβt sleep, im constantly worried about my future, and I feel like Iβm going nowhere while everyone else is moving forward.
I know I made mistakes, and Iβm willing to work hard to fix them. I just need some honest advice from people who understand this system or have been through something similar. Is there still a chance for me to turn things around?
