17 Things Not To Say To Year 12 Students Right Now
I am stressed AF, please stop talking.
1. "These exams will decide the path for the rest of your life."
FOX
I mean, the rest of my life? Really?
2. "It'll be over before you know it!"
Bravo
Not soon enough though.
3. "You won't even remember what it was like in a year or two."
Screen Gem
Fantastic, but that doesn't help me right now.
4. "It doesn't mean anything in the real world."
Pixar
Can you tell me why I'm even bothering then? What's with all the contradictory messages?!
5. "I don't even remember my ATAR (or equivalent)."
VH1
Great, but also everyone will be asking me about it for at least a whole month afterwards.
6. "Your final marks won't even matter."
YouTube: JennaMarbles
It may be true down the track, but they feel like they matter a WHOLE lot right now.
7. "High school years are the best of your life."
E!
... please don't tell me that.
8. "If you think Year 12 exams are bad, wait until university."
Comedy Central
Again, not helpful.
9. "How many hours a day are you studying?"
CW
Will probably add more hours now to escape these questions.
10. "Oh cool, I'm studying a few more than that a day."
Fox
Congrats.
11. "What are your related texts?"
Bravo
Unfortunately not back-to-back series of Real Housewives.
12. "How did you find that exam?"
Warner Bros.
Bad. Like the rest of them.
13. "Wait, did you get this answer? Oh you didn't. Oh. Well."
