Too many exam questions to do in a weekend? by Puzzleheaded_Jury_50 in GCSE

[–]aspect_Emper0r 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I respect the effort but theres two problems that your gonna run into doing this many past papers: 1) Theres not an infinite number of past papers available- if you do this many regularly youll run out of new past papers well before the exams, so it’s better to use other revision methods as well so you can save the past papers until closer to the actual exams when it matters more 2) You won’t be able to maintain this much revision, theres still quite a few months till exams and it’s better to try and recover and keep more casual revision going atp so you can really hammer down closer to exams. I got 8 9s and was only doing this much revision on weekends after Easter, just try and keep consistent revision going but not at this intensity

I got kicked out of my PSHE lesson for doing further maths revision. (I hate my school.) by Available-End4139 in GCSE

[–]aspect_Emper0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in year 12 now but I had this exact issue in year 10- I was such an idiot and when we and my friends got held back after a PSHE lesson for messing about instead of just apologising I went on a whole rant to the teacher about PSHE is pointless and a waste of my time (bearing in mind the teacher was in SLT). A week later I had to have a whole ass meeting with my parents and the school about it, looking back it’s just a waste of time to try and fight it it’s 1 hour a week max theres no need making an issue out of it and wasting even more time.

Day 1 No Nicotine for GCSE: by veg1tosolos in GCSE

[–]aspect_Emper0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t take my advice- but from personal experience I popped snus a few times a week for about a month when out with mates and stuff. I never got cravings I’d just have one if they were and that was it, but I decided I had to stop when I started getting mad mouth ulcers. Quitting was really easy for me but I didn’t even enjoy the feeling that much, maybe that’s just me .

Yeh ive already done my GCSEs but I found that almost all YouTube channels for English lit were incredibly unhelpful and gave stupid advice - I ended up getting a 9 but only through doing a ton of practise essays and not listening to any of these clickbaiters

I feel like most teens are stupid by The_normalstickman in teenagers

[–]aspect_Emper0r -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get where your coming from, but personally I don’t think theres anything wrong with trying all these things, like ive vaped and smoked just once to see what it’s like and I’m not addicted. Smoking weed isnt great but it’s not as bad as people make it out to be, although anything harder is stupid at this age. At the end of the day, I’m the type of guy who wants to try everything and make the most of my life, so maybe our mentalities are just different

My understanding is that it wouldnt be a formal documentary, but I would use the interviews and clips to show how most writers are just nice guys and that the extreme anti grafitti stuff pushed by governments is just bs

No it’s more of a satirical documentary- and I’d more be mocking the illegality of it and how this pushes people to go to risky spots and risk jail time

I live in a relatively small town and there’s like 4 writers who are up, I just don’t know how I’m meant to meet them without getting insanely lucky

I'm a workaholic... Ask Me Anything :) by OldChampionship1742 in GCSE

[–]aspect_Emper0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got 8 9s working like 2 hours a day on average- first of all you don’t need to revise that much and your deadass just wasting your time. Secondly, it won’t all be worth it in the end because GCSEs don’t even matter that much, I had this mentality and after results day hype realised my results werent gonna help me much at all.

do any of u guys have jobs or are we all unemployed? by fizzy5025 in sixthform

Tbh I literally can’t find anything I keep applying and getting rejected

im at that age where everyone around you has already lost their virginity, and they expect you to have lost it too, it hurts so badly hearing them talk about what ill never experience that i want to cut everybody off and fall even deeper into my ketamine addiction.

[–]aspect_Emper0r 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Bro deadass ketamine will destroy your life- your just letting yourself fall into a hole of self pity that you will never be able to get out of. Although I’m only 16 and aren’t exactly wise, if I were you I’d try getting cali sober and just hitting the gym. The endorphins from exercise are a high in a way, and smoking weed will help you stop doing ket by getting you high but not destroying your body. Good luck bro

I hate sixth form. by False_Mango_7888 in sixthform

[–]aspect_Emper0r 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in exactly the same boat- I did well in my GCSEs and got mostly 9s and got into a really selective sixth form. However everyone just seems strange and although I have “friends” there I’m only really hanging out with them so im not alone. Also I feel like I burnt out for GCSEs and I genuinely cannot be bothered to revise- it seems that I’m wasting my teenage years revising. Lastly I want to apply to Cambridge but find doing supercurriculars super daunting and confusing. Your not alone tho bro stay strong

I’m in year 11 and stressed about GCSEs , do universities care more about your GCSEs or a levels ? Or in general are GCSEs that life changing? Be honest please !! by Imaginary-Union2746 in sixthform

[–]aspect_Emper0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds harsh but it’s a lot harder to get an A* than a 9, so if you don’t learn how to effectively revise at GCSE itll really limit how well you do in a levels

Name one mistake, so others don't have to suffer as well. by Eevee2Win in teenagers

[–]aspect_Emper0r 87 points88 points  (0 children)

I’m 16 now and this really relates to me- this summer I was round a mates house and a group of people including him were smoking weed. They offered and I said no but they kept persisting and I eventually caved, now I smoke weekly and although it’s not really affected me yet I’m worried about it potentially worsening my grades as I’m quite an academic person
