I'm fed up with school! I have so much homework tonight.

---

I had a sneaky way around that. I had to do prefect duty each lunch time so i always volentered to man the homework room so by the time evening came i only had about 1/2 an hour left to do

I know I know, this sounds easy but my school is so strict on homework.

---

You want strict? Try every home work book being checked in and the page checked to make sure you had actually done it. If you hadnt (scary flashabck)

I feel so envious of you guys, you all get to go places and meet. I can't coz I'm 'too young' and my mum's too strict.

Been there. Plus we lived in the middle of no where so i was pretty isolated. Least you have the internet these days.

One day you'll have a wage and a car and you'll be able to go where ever you want. You have no idea how fast time goes! ( i still cant believe i'm nearly 25, last time i looked i was 22, who stole my years )

awww hun!

I know what it's like - i'm in Year 10 (first year GCSE's) and having been ill for half a term i've missed a lot and i'm having to do a load of catch-up work ASAP.

I wanna be 5 again!

Thanks Ferrett Girl, I'm in yr 10 too and I wanna be 5 again too! Ah gone are the days that homework was making a story up about a rabbit.

lizzieslayer-I share your pain!

4 weeks till study leave!

I have a French oral on the 8th May then 2 weeks till the main exams start. Then half term, then another week and a bit! My last GCSE is 18th June. Then 12 weeks of fun and relaxing!

I do my homework (or prep as we call it at my um 'posh' school. ) in study periods-4 a week and on Wednesday afternoons-year 10 and above do games and study. Or the more sporty people are put on teams eg for cricket(boys) and rounders-(girls) this term and everybody else does 'minor' games and study.

I'm going to miss my Wednesday afternoons

Then college...

oh and ignore the alcoholic druggies who will end up failing their GCSE's and be stuck in a poxy little job if they have 1 at all!

My mum was way stricter than all my friend's mums when i was your age (omg, i just said "when i was your age" i need to start checking for grey hairs) I always wnated to go out with them and suffered the habitual "No"s and "back by 10pm" and them coming into the party to pick me up.

I remember I used to save up my dinner money from school during the week and pool it with my pocket money. Then I'd tell my mum I was sleeping at my best mates house and watching videos - we'd go out clubbing coz her mum wasn't as strict as mine. Then i made the mistake of writing a letter to a frind telling her about the clubbing exploits on our computer - brainy git here manages to save the letter to the hard drive instead of floppy disc and gets rollacked big time

My mum knew it was no good grounding me so she stole the power fuses from my tv and stereo and banned me from the computer. (why do parents know exactly how to punish you so it hurts the most)

I got my own back one and a half years later by getting a job in a nightclub. Mother - Not impressed. She didn't chill out until I left for uni. The best thing ever was the week i came back from Uni to live back here. I'd gone out on a night out and strolled back in at 10:30 the following morning. I could tell by the look on my Mum's face that she was dying to say something but knew that she couldn't - It was heaven

So the moral of the rather long winded story is Don't worry - You'll get your own back eventually mwahhhahahaha.

What she said! That is so so so so so true. The people who used to bully me at school coz I got on with my work and actually tried with my GCSEs are all stuck here doing exactly the same thing they were when we finished our exams. Last laugh eh?

And FG, don't we all want to be 5 again?

and btw, Good luck all you exam types too!

Awww hun **Hugs** all I can say is I'm sometimes very glad I'm ermmm [cough]older[cough]

my sympathies..i know exactly what you mean! They suck!

I'm in the same boat as Barbara, only my French Orals are later. Also, as well as having revision to do, i have had to re-draft ALL of my english coursework in the last month because my teacher suddenly decided that maybe it needed a little more work.

are you guys all going to stay on for sixth form next year? that should be like a dream, all the ones i'm doing either have no coursework or very little coursework (you guessed it, i hate coursework, prefer exams personally).

By the way, i'm doing:
History
Economics
French
Maths

Next year. What about you guys?

Pah, GCSEs, I have no sympathy due to them being a pile of easiness compared to A levels. Just you wait! I've even had to take a year out they were so hard (well, there WERE other reasons.....I'm not skiving just coz school suddenly got hard!). Changed my subjects a few times too! First I was doing biology, psychology, maths and french. Then changed french to classics. When I go back I think I'm fairly sure that I'm going to do biology, psychology, history and politics. Eep! I be scared.

well i'm 21 and i still act 5 anyway college or 6th form willb e better just wait

I'm doing A Levels at the moment and I'm really beginning to feel down.

The last couple of weeks they have just been piling on the work and going on aboput how we all have to be starting our revision. What they don't seem to understand is that by giving us lots of homework to do, they are cutting down on the time that we have to do our revision !

At the moment, I'm feeling knd of withdrawn, like I'm not really here. I'm sitting in the lessons and nothing seems to be going in. I could quite happily just find a nice hole to crawl into so that I could get away from everything around me

I can't cope !!!! AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

Awwwwww poor head2head *hugs*.
Well I'm only in year 10 but I'm pretty sure I want to move from my the school I go to for Sixth Form. My school is an all girls school! For GCSE's I'm doing; the core subjects (double science award, english lit, english language, maths etc) and my chosen subjects are French (we had to do a language), History, Drama and Geography. Aswell as CLAIT.

I want to go to a school near me, its kinda got a bad reputation for the kids. And I know lots of people who go there who tend to be on drugs. But I know it gets average grades and I wouldn't want to stay at my school longer. I would love to go to a boarding school in Suffolk but its far toooo expensive. So when I go to sixth form I hope to do Media Studies, Politics and Science Public and Understanding. If the school does them.

I have a couple of practice orals this year, actually I have them this week! . I hate FRENCH!!!!! Its far too hard.
Good luck to you guys in your GCSE's and everyone doing there A-levels! *hugs to all*

Well after having a totally sucky first day back - I think i did badly in my Geography Test - but i had only been to one of thelessons in the last term!!! <----my excuse!

And in RS we were doing a subject that i REALLY did not want to be doing recently

So yes - school is evil (but probably a learning curve!)

Like Lizzieslayer (and a few others i know on the board) i'm in Year 10 and i'm doing:
English Language
English Literature
French
Maths
Dual Science Award (in which i'll be getting my first result tommorrow - wish me luck!!!)
Geography
R.S.
I.T.

Haven't really thought about A-levels much but will prolly do something like:
English language or lit (haven't decided which one i prefer)
Economics
Phycology
I.T. or Geography
Further Maths - apparently, it's really usefyul for economics

Don't you need to do maths to do further maths? I'm probably wrong, I've always just assumed that.

Oh my you so have an excuse for doing badly in a geog test! Don't worry, I'm sure the teachers will take into account that you only have one geog lesson last term. Why do teachers always seem to welcome us back to school in the worst ways? Lots of hmwrk and tests.
Really I didn't know there were lots of people who are in year 10 on the boards!? Cool.

It's at times like this I'm glad I only took 5 GCSEs! For those taking 10 or more, my heart goes out; you're doing one hell of an impressive job working your way through that lot. All the very best luck to those taking them.
