:scared: Teenager Forum please! My daughter turned 16 this month and is awaiting her GCSE results. This means she cannot start college or work until she has them. We don't know anyone with kids her age and she is extemely lonely! Is there anyone out there who has kids around her age in the Brisbane/Chapel Hill area who she could chat with pleeeeeeeeeease! (I'm not begging)

People post "bounce" to get the thread back to the top so that others notice it.

I take it your daughter took her GCSEs whilst still in the UK. Does she not fancy going back a year and doing her Oz eviq. Then she will make loads of friends at school. That is what we are going to do next July. I have heard its hard to get into college in oz on the back of GCSEs, which is another reason why our daughter will be repeating her final year at school. Correct me if I am wrong, obviously you are already there and have spoken to colleges.

I would imagine if your daughter did go to College then she would make loads of friends.

good luck with whatever you do.

Thank you for that, Anne. I wondered too...

She will be going to a TAFE which is a type of college for adult education. She wants to do childcare but cannot start until she gets her GCSE results. I understand they stay at school until they are 18 over here so its difficult for my daughter, but she doesn't mind going to a TAFE. At least she will have the opportunity to make friends. She is going to have to get a part time job too. Harsh it may seem but she needs to grow up a bit and gain some independence as she is still tied very tightly to my apron strings. My fault I suppose as I'm very protective. Anyway, we will see. Where are you planning to move to and are you coming over on a skilled visa? Thats waht we did..

If you think about it, doing that on every thread makes the forum impossible to read.
Which is why a lot of such posts are deleted by moderators.
