Subject : HELP!!!! I failed my GCSEs and have no future!!!

Hi, can anyone help. I have got myself into a very bad situation. I am 16 years old and due to missing about 4 years of school have only got G grades in my GCSEs (apart from getting a C grade in English) .I wondeed what my options are in terms of going to college? Do they have any courses for people in my situation? If so then what are they (called)? Can anyone tell me a bit about them? and what can someone progress to from these courses?
Also....I have heard they run a few random GCSE subjects (mainly English and maths) at college? please be honest...would doing GCSE courses at college be suitable for someone in my situation? If so then how many subjects and what subjects should I take? and for how long? Also I wouldn't have a clue how to put a timetable of these subjects together (how to link them) etc.... so what can I do about this??(expecially if they are at different colleges) If I got G grades in my GCSEs ....what sort of a grade do you think I'd get at the end of a few 1 yr GCSE course subjects sat at college?please be honest. and what could I progress to after the GCSE courses?
Can anyone out there help me? I feel really frightened about my future and no-one at home will help me.
Does getting G grades mean that I have no future worth living?
Or that I will never get a well-paid job?
please help!!!!!

Hi, i would avise you not to panick to much if you can help it !! firstly i think that re-taking your GCSE's at college would be good for you, because the standard of teaching there is likely to be alot better than it would be at secondary schools, and if yuo missed a whole 4 years of school, its no wonder you didn't do well, i don't think anybody could !! ;) just remember that there are still options avaialable for you, i would also advise that you get yourself down to your local careers office, wherever that may be locally to you. They will be able to help you, and find something that you re interested in, and that will fit your situation. Hope i helped, and best of luck to you.
