I was told if I don't do well in school, I won't be able to get a good job when I'm older and I'll be stuck working low-paid jobs for the rest of my life So I did well at school and then college and then uni and yet I can't seem to get any job at all. My boyfriend failed nearly all of his GCSEs and he has a better career and earns more than me. What a waste. I wish I'd just dossed about in school and had fun. I could have been more popular and got more confidence and better social skills. But nope I fell for the scam instead and I left school with 13 GCSEs and only 2 genuine friends. I really hope I can turn this around because I feel like a right fool now and my life is going absolutely nowhere. On the plus side, I have more friends now than I've ever had in my life and they're so much better than my old friends. Don't listen to anyone who says it's harder to make friends as an adult.
