Any dickhead that has the nerve to say that L.C students don’t have a right to be annoyed should be ashamed of themselves. Imagine having the hardest exams of your life to date hanging over you for all of 5th and 6th year only to have it pushed back into your summer which is

Meant to be the best of your life. Having your 6th year holiday canceled, your graduation postponed indefinitely, the fact that after your exams, you’re going to be nearly straight into college or work. I have a little sister who is sitting her leaving cert this year and she

Hasn’t stopped since day one. I have never seen her so determined to get the points she needs, but today she is distraught. Her biggest fear is that she will burn out which I completely understand. I know that most who have gotten by the leaving know there is bigger things in

Life. But how many of us knew that back then. That poxy set of exams scared the shite out of me when I was doing them and I still get anxious thinking about them. So please next time you’re thinking about saying they need to get a grip, think of the stress they are going through.
