Have you recently started college or sixth form and now wondering if you've made the right decision? Stop. Don't Drop.
Don't rush into a decision you might later regret. Give yourself time to consider the situation and how you're feeling.
Take your time
You should take your time to:
- Understand why you're having doubts. Is it the college / school environment or the course?
- Reflect on how attending the course makes you feel. Are you unhappy or just bored with the course?
- Consider the consequences of leaving a course. Would leaving the course affect your career goal?
