Right, well I'm near leaving year 11, and I did have a 6th form picked out for next year, but I have heard, that even though it's brilliantt for a public school its overrun (worse than my current school) with townies/charvas and I hate those people, they make my life hell. I refuse to stay on as I've been trying to leave since year 7, and I'm not over-enthralled with the idea of college. Besides, I've only got 2 weeks before study leave. I could always do an apprenticeship, cause I've been thinking about that a canny bit, but I don't know 'cause I really have my heart set on becoming a Psychologist, but I can't think of what to do. Help!

Okay, so there's a lot of chavs, they're not all nasty people you know, you may actually make friends with people there. Be a bit more open minded! I have loads of friends from school/6th form that I would never have imagined that I'd be friends with, but trust me, people don't always live up to their stereotype, and I think it's really not worth messing up a career in Psychology over the type of students in a 6th form.

People who stereotype against chavs, saying they make their life hell...I'm sorry, but you are COMPLETELY overreacting.
While being a psychologist your going to come across MANY people who make your life "hell" so to speak. What are you going to do then? It's not as if you can avoid them. Really, I wouldn't be so petty.
You could also just go to another college/sixth form?
If I were you I'd have a look at other places and see if you can get in. I'm guessing it's quite late to do so, but it's always worth a try. The idea of an apprenticeship too is a good idea. Sometimes I really wonder how useful my education is, and wish I could have done an apprenticeship in something seemingly more useful. Also, you could ask the sixth form college if you can go and have a look round to get a feel of the place, and see if it really is as bad as you've been told.
It's a lot to think about, but if you want to make good your future you're going to have to get off your arse and get researching it all to make sure you make a good decision.
