My little brother failed them all, he’s GDD. He attends a SEND college and spends most of his free time playing vidya. I A* them all and do much the same (partially due to chronic health concerns).
Moral: GCSE’s don’t matter. It’s all about conditions, circumstance and drive. Play the cards you’ve got best you can.

Become an electrician and work away earning £1k a week

I know so many retards who do this

You can earn similar amounts working locally once you are skilled/experienced

You'll be in shit okay as an apprentice doe general labourer, and it takes a couple of years but literally the most unreliable / drug addicted person I know did it, and he's genuinely useless

Got the 5 GCSEs, 4 Cs 1 B in English Language. I hated math so much that I needed private tuition just to pass foundation which maxes out at C.

Proceeded to get one A-Level, again B English Language, and a BTEC in IT at lowest passing grade - long story.

Ended up doing 1 month in a overnight job at Sainsburys, moved to London to start a traineeship at a investment company, now 7 years working in finance. It's pretty cool.

I did not fail, but the highest I got was C's.
I went to sixth form and continued my fuckery antics, and then finished with 82 UCAS points.
I used the power of nepotism (friends dad) to fall into a pretty decent IT job.
I then matured a lot, and did a HND in Mechanical Engineering, which led me to get a degree apprenticeship with a defence company and now I make a shit load.
Life is literally so easy. GCSEs and A-Levels don't mean shit.
