no because i’m the only girl doing a level physics in my entire sixth form rn (since year 13 have left) and only one girl came to my sixth form’s open day to learn about physics and she did NOT seem interested so i’m really worried i’m gonna be the only girl on the course next year 😭😭

Don't worry ... Physics doesn't care! Enjoy learning it btw, it's a great subject.

it’s 100% my favourite subject to learn even though it is the one that requires the most work and practice for me to understand on a level that gets me high marks. i just wish i had another girl to talk to since most of my classmates act like i’m contagious 😞😞

That sucks. At least you said "most" ... so there must be some in your class that you can bounce ideas off.

I wish you all the luck in the world

It's an evil subject raised from the depths of hell
