Repeating sixth year

Results | Messages | Flag
I have just discovered I will have to repeat 6th year. My 'A' level results are not good enough to go to college and do the course I want. It will be awful to have to return to school and face everybody, as a failure. I also dread having to wear a uniform again. As soon as school was finished I delightfully give my uniform to a charity shop wondering, "what poor girl will have to wear this next year"? Apart from the embarrasment of having to repeat 6th year, I hate so much having to go back into uniform. I know this is silly in relation to everything else, but it is so important to me. My uniform is ok like, but going back into it is giving me shudders. Why you may ask? Well our school expects all students to wear knee socks as part of the uniform, everybody does. But I thought I was getting out, now I'm not. The rest of the uniform is ok, we wear our skirts short, straight and tight, the blazer is a bit of a bore, but it's the socks that bother me. Last year I did not really mind too much, but now I hate the thoughts of it- and being a wee school girl again.
