Today, young folks across the UK are trying to find peace with a system that they were told they& #39;d need to enter in order to secure a better future, only for some of them to be told that the Computer literally says no.

You& #39;re right to feel Angry, wrong to worry.

First, your A-Level results won& #39;t define who you go on to become, and the work you may go on to do.

I started my A-Levels 2 years after High School. I received 2 U& #39;s during my AS-Level year, and when I got my final year results, I took another year to decide my path.
I went to University to study and later train as an English Teacher. I& #39;d leave University before I would finish that journey to pursue a career where my first role required none of the education I& #39;d acquired so far.
Better still, I& #39;ve been supported throughout my various careers by people who have similar stories. People recognise good attitudes, human skills, and strong passion.

My generation is set to take on that responsibility next, and we& #39;re paying attention to what& #39;s happening to you
Today sucks, and you& #39;ve been screwed. Don& #39;t disengage. Stay connected to the world and be willing to show up and challenge folks and the systems they control who are set to do the same to others. We need your support to effect positive change in the world.
To folks who& #39;ve found themselves infuriated reading the news from today - please take the time to share your stories. What helps most on days like this is understanding that you& #39;re not alone and that the paths infront of you aren& #39;t as scary.
To folks reading Emails, Text Message, or Opening Letters with your exam results - take it in as best as you can. Know that there& #39;ll come a time where you& #39;ll look back and remember how you triumphed in spite of the adversity.

We& #39;re angry for you too. https://www.bbc.com/news/education-53759832">https://www.bbc.com/news/educ...
