Celebrities assure teenagers not to worry about A-level results
Another year, another inspirational tweet from Jeremy Clarkson!
Published:
Every August, clammy-handed teenagers across the nation open their A-Level results to discover what path lies ahead of them.
It has practically become tradition for celebrities – Jeremy Clarkson especially – to send out reassuring tweets to students at this pivotal moment in their lives…
If you didn't get the right A level results, don't worry. I got a C and 2 Us, and my chef is preparing truffles for breakfast.

Remember if you didn’t get the A levels you wanted that the world is about to be destroyed and you just wasted your last summer revising.

It isn't one size fits all, often people find their passion beyond school, don't give up if it hasn't gone your way #alevelresultsday

Messed up A Levels. Left university because of a panic attack. CAME BACK LIKE SOME KIND OF PHOENIX QUEEN. SO WILL YOU.#alevelresultsday pic.twitter.com/rjZ0EruKOg

It is perhaps unsurprising that the celebrities – especially Clarkson – are subject to a lot of mockery for this…
Looking forward to some humble brags this morning. "I got no a-levels, and I've got a thousand ferraris"

Happy annual "I failed my A-levels but now I'm famous so it's ok"-day

Don’t worry kids, I failed my A-Levels and look at me now – I’m in a mediocre job and have crippling anxiety.

If J. C doesn't tweet about how he got a C and 2 U's and he's fine, is it even A level results day?#alevelresultsday pic.twitter.com/S02lUyOY43

One teenager who didn’t quite get the grades he was going for is Liam from Winstanley College in Wigan, who decided to open his A-Level results live on national television.
The presenter on Good Morning Britain excitedly asked him: “So, Liam, did you get what you needed?”
To which Liam flatly replied: “Umm. No.”
Liam got BCBD instead of the required ABB. But he’s a glass half full kind of guy, and he said to the presenter: “At the end of the day it’s win or lose we’re on the booze, isn’t it?”
Yes, Liam. Yes it is.
Meanwhile, another student at Winstanley College who whole-heartedly agrees with Liam’s mantra is this guy.

Looks like there’ll be chaos on the streets of Wigan tonight.
