Doomsday? Of course not!
On the 19th and 24th of August 2010 the weeks and months of hard work and anticipation will be put to rest when GCSE, AS and A-Level results are released.
For those having done their A-Levels the result of the 19th of August will determine whether or not they are accepted to University, and with very few University places available, the competition will be tough. So, to all you hopeful students out there, (not that you'll need it, but all the same) good luck!
For GCSE students the result of the 24th will allow them to return to Sixth Form to complete their AS and A-Levels or go onto College or employment, which as we all know is quite tricky at the moment! Again, good luck to everyone! But, it isn’t the end of the world if you don’t get the grades you want or need, there are ways around it and there’s always next time. There’ll be plenty of helplines available for everyone, everywhere during the weeks after the results, so keep an eye out for them! They'll be all over the radio and BBC websites etc, too!
Hopefully everyone will be celebrating and looking forward to the future, as cheesy as that sounds! But, just like the last couple of years the law embodying police will be out between the 19th and 24th looking out for underage drinkers and they’ll be taking things seriously with ID and, particularly, fake ID. So the general message is, be sensible, which makes perfect sense. Personally I think that society thinks that all teenagers go out and get completely drunk – we all know that not everybody does it, but adults will be adults, as ignorant as ever.
Good luck to everybody, let us know how you got on!

I agree Syhr, its a nail biting time for many of you out there and it's not the end of the world if you don’t get the results you expect!
Indeed some of the richest entrepreneurs in the UK didn’t have any qualifications e.g. Richard Branson and Alan Sugar! Admittedly they do help you to get your foot in the door and up the ladder but there are other ways to get there! Trust me I know a few!
As the Wicid Nan I have bags of experience and I’m here to help - if you are worried about your results before or after you get them, then get in touch - it’s never as bad as you think!
Good Luck to you all and remember you can only try your best and that's always good enough for me!!
