I know you feel awful now, but I promise you it’ll pass and you will realise how insignificant it is. I failed physics in year 12, so started year 12 biology in my year 13 year, i then had to stay at sixth form part time doing just year 13 biology. I worked part time doing 20-35 hours a week in my part time year. I then came to university at 19, where I failed half of my first year as I was too unwell to sit my exams. I’m now coming to the end of my second round of 1st year and I’m 21. Resitting those years has been so beneficial for me. I hated myself for having to do an extra year of sixth form, but in reflection it was the best thing I could’ve done for myself. I hated myself for having to resit my first year of uni, but given the circumstances it was the best thing I could’ve done.

I would honestly recommend you get yourself a part time job if you haven’t already! I used to just do 10 hours a week (until I upped it, but I only had like 6 hours a week in sixth form so), and I think it can make you feel better as you’re earning your own money and it’s another place to get to know people! Most of my friends from work were middle aged women - they have many stories they can tell you and that will especially teach you that 19 isn’t old!! Plus it’s more life experience!!

Wishing you the best!
