Hello groovy people (yes, that includes you!),
We know that it's GCSE results day for some of you tomorrow, and we just wanted to drop by to wish you all the very best of luck. You're all kind and beautiful people, and we're proud of all of the effort and work that you have put in whatever happens tomorrow.
If you're collecting results, then I'm sure there's a whole host of different emotions flying around in your head, and that those emotions will be unique to you. Whatever you're feeling, know that its valid and that we're here to support you through it.
If you don't get the results that you were hoping for, we know that can be stressful and scary. We'd like you to remember, though, that there's still lots of options out there for what you can do with your future. The Mix have a great article on post-GCSE options, which you can check out here.
There's also an article on coping with exam results day, which seems quite topical at the moment!
If you're looking for someone to talk to about your results and possible options for you, here's a few people and places you can reach out to:
Remember, though, it's your future, not anybody elses! It's important to follow your own passions and interests when choosing your next steps. Ask yourself WHY you want to take the next step that you have choosen - if you don't know why it is that you're interested in something then that might indicate that it's time for a rethink.
Of course, you can also talk to us and with each other here about your results. How are you all feeling today? If you'd like to share your results with us, chat about your next steps or let us know how the whole experience was then we're here for you.
Take care of yourselves today, legends, and know that we're proud of you all

If you're looking for someone to talk to about your results and possible options for you, here's a few people and places you can reach out to:
- Careers Advisors: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland each have their own careers service helplines – perfect if you need to chat to someone in a hurry. There might also be someone in this role in your school or at a local college who can help. Don't be shy, they're there to help!
- Teachers: Even if you didn’t always have the best relationship with your teachers, they've been through your school journey with you and so will know a lot about you and how you work. Don’t be afraid to ask them for a chat about your next steps.
- Friends: What are your friends going to do next? What do they think you'd enjoy?
