Our photographers have been across the region this morning to capture the important moment in many young people’s lives as they get ready to embark on their future as… adults! From jumping with joy to holding up your results in the obligatory photograph for your parents’ proud Facebook post, we hazard a guess at what is going through their heads – other than the daunting prospect of having to cook their own tea at uni. Can you live off microwavable pizzas?
9. 'What did you get?'
Lets face it, we're inquisitive (nosy) creatures. Yes you want to know how you did but you're almost more curious to see what everyone else got. Every chat in the school hall on results day will start with 'how did you do?' Photo: Tim Richardson
10. Finding your favourite teacher
Everyone has a favourite teacher that you can't wait to share your good news with. Sometimes you feel more proud telling you maths teacher you got an A than you are to telling your family. Photo: Tim Richardson
11. 'What do I do now?'
Whether you've got into uni, are starting an apprenticeship or are heading off on a gap year. It's time to take your first step as a real adult - you might want to learn how to cook something better than beans on toast. Photo: Tim Richardson
12. 'Why on earth are we sat on the floor, we should be in the pub by now'
You've got great results, your teachers are very proud. The sixth form have put up with you for two years now so the least you can do is pose for a picture and let them show you, and your great results, off to the world Photo: IAN McCLELLAND
