Idk, I guess I need some comforting. I feel like I'm throwing my life away because of SA.

This is pretty much stress because i'm a high acheiver who is now failing grade 11 and there are 2 weeks left of school. I haven't been to school in about 1-2 weeks, and it's been a checkered 2 months. People are telling me i'm going to be a garbage woman because of this (mother). Can I still get into a decent university? Do they look at this kind of thing? I need somebody to tell me that I can always go back and re-do it if I fail, this does NOT mean i'll be any less in life than I would be. I can still do online and make up for it.

>;[ Right?

Hiya. Dont bother beating yourself up because if you know you are going to have great difficulty in school dont put yourself through it.
I quit school aged 14 and was lucky enough to study for the next 2 years at a college. Not full time like everyone else who was much older but i was in a class with allot of other people with problems in school and i carried on my education. How old are you? Maybe there is something like that near you.
The feeling you know you can do the work in school and get good grades if you wanted to but being with others in a school/class is preventing you from doing so.

And of course you wont end up being a garbage lady. You seem pretty bright to me. Theres plently of people that retake their GCSES later in adult life and theres some that leave school early and end up becoming millionaires!
Your mother shouldnt be saying that stuff. I hate tough love.

There were people well over 30 in the same room as me in college when i got to take mine aged 15!

You can always go back and re-take anything should it come to that, and people have come through things like this and gone on to achieve great things.

In the mean time, stay as focused and positive as you can :)
