I hope you all did well in your GCSEs this year!
If you didn't, then don't panic and don't be upset. You are still young and have plenty more years for education, whether that's from resits or from different educational courses. Just because you didn't get what you wanted this year, that doesn't mean that you can't get what you want next year, if that's the option you wish to take.
I would also like to suggest that if you're a member of Facebook or Twitter, ignore all those tweets from older people saying how GCSEs don't matter or to stop posting about your results. From what I've seen these individuals are people who haven't done that well in their education, and whether they're now in a good job or not, or whether they actually got good GCSE results and went on to do well throughout their education, they're getting enjoyment from making your day of celebration worse.
With GCSEs you're able to move onto A level studies, your grades can contribute to the entry requirements of getting into university which can result in getting a degree, masters and/or a PhD. Another path is an apprenticeship, a job or further education courses.
GCSEs also help you to practice revision techniques and coping with stress, which is as we all know very important for further exams and for dealing with problems in life.
So congratulations to all GCSE students this year, no matter what grades you got, you've received a hell of a lot of experience.
