6th form was crap for me, I did crap and got crap results. I then went to college and did the same lessons and did great.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to drop Media because at the moment I'm taking 2 AS Levels and 2 A Levels, and apparently I can't get into Uni with that.

Anyway Adam, don't think I saw you there all day. :D What's going down in groove town?

6th form was crap at my place. It was my high school's 6th form. My brother went before me and my sister went before that, so naturally I was expected to go too.

Only problem was, I only had 4 C or above GCSEs, and you needed at least 5. Trouble is, they said there might be a problem letting me in on the first day of 6th form, which meant if they'd said no, the colleges had already started and I'd be in a tight spot to find a course I liked and could get onto elsewhere. Stupid place.

I convinced them to let me on, and that I could do the work as well as the kids who had enough grades, which was true. I didn't fail my GCSEs because I was stupid, I failed because I never showed up and never did any revision. Well, my stupidity probably had SOMETHING to do with it ;) Not very intelligent to never go into school.

Anyway, I took theatre studies (drama) sociology and English lit. Had to do literature, since they weren't doing language. Bar-stewards. No media courses, and the computer one I wanted to do clashed with my drama one, so I had to make a choice. And they complained to me that I wasn't doing enough subjects, when it was their bloody fault! Some people simply can't do what they want, and that's really unfair. Don't go to a high school 6th form, unless you know it's good, go to a real college.

Anyway, 6th form was terrible. All my mates either left shortly after it started or never joined in the first place and I didn't get on with my teachers (only my sociology teacher) or my form tutor. So began two of the suckiest years of my entire life. What a waste of time, could've gone straight onto the media course I'm on now instead of going there, but my parents wanted me to go, so I did. Got 2 A levels out of it (was thrown out of English because I hated it and never showed up) but I wouldn't say it was worth it. Make sure you know what you're doing when you join up, it's not too late to leave if you dislike it at first, don't expect things to get drastically better.

Oh, and take sociology, it's great. Even a retard like myself managed to get As and Bs in the exams for that.
