Have I totally ruined my life with my GCSE results ?

Have I totally fucked my life up with my GCSEs results ?

I keep having daydreams about my results and how much of a letdown they were. I got lower in my actual GCSEs than in my mocks. I know I should be over it by now and move on, but I feel like I should have “dumbass” plastered on my forehead. I worry that anyone who hears my results will think the same. It feels like I’ve ruined my life for good. GCSE Results: Maths = 5 English Language = 4 English Literature = 7 Science = 4/5 Child Development = 4 Business = 4 History = 3 In my mocks, I was getting 5s, 6s, and 7s, and I was planning on doing A levels—but clearly, I can’t anymore. Now I’m in college studying BTEC Level 3 Applied Science and Forensics, and honestly, I enjoy it much more than I think I would have enjoyed A levels. The course is fun and engaging, so that’s definitely an upside.

Opinions: Have I ruined my life with my GCSEs? Could people think badly of me after hearing my results?

• will this ruin my chances of getting into college?
