I have suffered with many health issues every sicne I was a child, in and out of hospital, always at the doctors, there has always been something wrong. Ihave always loved and done extremely well at school but my attendance was always shocking. Due to the fact I had medical certificates, prrof of all my hospital stays and my parents always kept the school up to date on everything, I still passed every year even with my shocking attendance. In year 11 I had over 80 days off so a few weeks into year 12 I realised there was no way I would be able to keep up and recieve the high ATAR i was wanting and new I was capable of, so I took the year off. I had to have operations and did everything I could to get healthy and have returned to school to ocmplete my HSC with the year of 2012 even though they are the year below me. Although some of my health issues were fixed, many were not, so here I am yet again struggling and having shocking attending. I have accepted I wont recieve the ATAR I need.
I'm sorry, I sympathise with you but honestly your condition does not sound severe and you havnt gone about it the right way with getting certificates and always keeping the shcool updated, you have brought this on yourself, maybe you should have taken your schooling more serious. I do hope it works out best for you but my advice is take what option you can which suits you best. If you have to repeat, do pathways or go to a different school, just do it. One extra year wont hurt you. Unfortunately for me I dont have the oppurtunity to do well, I did the right thing, I sacrificed finishing school with my friends and am now finishing shcool later than expected but yet my health just wont let me have it. So dont do the self pity thing with all this suicide bullshit. You had the chance you screwed it up unlike me who did everything the right away and am still suffering.
You must learn to live with whatever cards life decides to deal you, unfortunately for me I have been dealt a nice big pile of shit cards.
