Hi

Hi, I don't really know what to say but here we go.

I don't think I'm classed as being depressed but I am feeling down lately. I'm 18 and busy failing my A-Levels, failed my As Levels, Grades: DEEU. I know loads of students go through this, but those grades are with resits, im repeating year 1 of maths and resitting yet again. I've given up hope of going to Uni to study medicine, as i'm not smart enough and they dont like resits.

I'm thinking of dropping out of sixth form as no matter how hard I work I fail, maybe a job will better suit me.

Another thing which gets me down (sorry to go on and be a pest) is my stutter. It's getting worse lately and i'm already signed up to a stuttering forum like this which is helping but isn't a cure.

Sorry to go on, thanks.

There are many famous people who have suffered thru bad stuttering. They overcame this by taking singing lessons. The guy who played "gomer pyle usmc" and "xander" from buffy the vampire slayer are just two that come to mind.

As for school, I haven't been in school in a very long time. But I do know that it if is something you want you will find a way to achieve it. Even if it means putting in a lot of extra hours with a tutor.
