im 13 years old i haven’t been to school since i was 12 cuz i got bullied out of year 7 (british school years) . im in year 8 now , going into year 9 which is when u pick gcses and stuff. im quite naturally smart, i was top of my classes till i left school like i left school and basically went back in july when the bullying calmed down. i maintained like all my knowledge and catchedup super quick but bro im scared now cuz what if im stupid. im writing this because my “friend” told me my futures fucked and done for because i haven’t been to school. she’s failing all her lessons and has behavioral issues so i probably shouldn’t listen to her input but i still did 💀 so do you think im fucked in the future?
tldr: haven’t been to school since year 7 , been naturally smart all my life wondering if ill catch up with year 9 or if my futures like done for

a year or two is nothing in a human’s life. We live to 70-80-90-100 years old.
It took me a long time to realise as well, since i had the same fear but now that im an adult i have the benefit of retrospection and i can assure you your future is fine. Don’t worry about it.
Don’t listen to them, you’re only 13 man. If you work hard, you’ll catch up.
At this stage of your schooling, you can catch up without too much drama. I would get back as soon as possible though. There might be some tough patches catching up so you’ll have to be prepared to really give it a go, and not to be afraid to ask for help when you need it.
Don’t worry about it so much, you’re still young, after high school Jobs and stuff mostly care about college and experience anyways
Your future is not fucked at all, but you need to find a way to go to school or go to a different school.
Don’t panic, it sounds like you’ll catch up easily enough if you make the effort. My nephew, who is now a successful engineer, was homeschooled until the age of 13, and the only real trouble he had was in getting himself up to the required level in French, having never learned any French at all before.
You can defo catch up. When my sister was at school (30 now) in yr 9 there was a boy who couldn’t read yet ( he was neuro typical and native English speaker js didn’t care abt school) and now he’s a banker in the city. You have plenty of time dw
You missed a lot of key lessons, you’ll have to work insanely hard to make up for that year but you’ll be fine.
study independently then pass your exams for a certification.
Many students skip 2 or 3 years and live successful life without any hiccups
im going to be straight up with you I have never ever used my GCSEs for anything and if people have asked what i got I just bullshit
If you were top of your class you’re not stupid. Don’t let others define you. Don’t let others distract you or block you. Write up a list of goals for yourself. What do you want to accomplish in one year, two years, five years, and ten years. What will you need to accomplish these goals? Keep your list handy. Refer to it often. Anything or anyone that deters you from your goals needs to be avoided and ignored. Once you have a clear direction keep moving forward.
You’re fine sweetheart , shes projecting – you also have PLENTY of time to catch up , your future will be fine if you make it so 🖤
