I am truly fucked. I am bright, I come from a nice background, not poor, not rough. I am intelligent, for my G.C.S.Es this summer i got:
1 C
5 B's and
4 A's
However, i have absolutly no idea what the hell I'm going do with myself. I have started my As levels and i have chosen Sociology, Psychology and Media. I've only been at college for a few weeks but allready i find myself daydreaming in lessons and thinking 'what the hell am I doing here?'. Does anybody have any advice to give me because im getting very depressed and stressed out because i have no idea where my life is going. help me.

How about do the a'levels then take a year out.
It will give you time to see a bit of the world and figure out what you want to do.
how about planning a round the world trip now - begin saving, then you know that when you have done and got your A lavels you will have something you want to do.
Even if it's just travelling to Ireland to work on Organic farms for 6 months (WWOOF - Willing workers on Organic Farms)
Definitely fag_bong go for a travel... Find some work. Workout what you enjoy doing. Once you have that, you will know where you want to go. WWOOF sounds fun. Wish I had then when I was looking for a year off... (15 years ago!)
End of $0.02
fag_bong, i really dont know what to suggest, but what everybody has said here is adivce i think you should consider (made sense to me anyway!). if your a-levels are really boring you, consider changing them - no harm in that, and from the sounds of it they seem to have been pretty arbitrary choices (i might be wrong).
i'd advise you to stick it at college though. a friend of mine, sounds a lot like you, is hopefully gonna get a RAF commission if she can hack the rest of her a-levels. but dont give up, and dont take any steps unless you fully consider the consequences - years out, changing courses, forces career. talk it over with someone - your college should provide some sort of careers advice or counselling that can help you through this.

Do something for your self, look around, who has the life now, that you want? How did they get there. A levels and Uni are not so imnportant, you can do them any time in your life if you want to do them. What's important is how you feel in your life right now, Carpe Diem, as they say, and it's true.
Try something, if it don't work, figure out why and try something else. You don't need tons of cash to get going, you just need to get going.
I went to college and Uni because all my friends did, I was top set and that's what you did. I didn't choose, I just went along. DON'T JUST GO ALONG.
