Hi ! I'm a student in the UK and i'm honestly a little stuck at the moment. - Sorry this is long ! I'm not good at explaining !

After my GCSEs, I went on to 'Sixth Form' (/high school?) but I didn't enjoy it so I left after the first year. I enrolled into the college over summer and have been doing a course there since September.

The problem is, I have a very week immune system and I become ill very easily and often miss days because of being sick or doctors appointments so i'm falling behind.

The course is very heavy - we have a 2 week schedule (one in college then one volunteering for work experience) and in our college week, we learn 2 units(?) and complete an assignment for each assignment.

Although I find the course interesting, I feel like I cannot cope with the stress. I'm currently very behind because of my missed days and feel like i'm going to continue falling behind through the next half year. (I need to hand in 5 assignments this week on Thursday - only 2 of which are currently completed..)

I would love for some advice :( I have spoken to my parents and they want me to talk to my tutor before I make any hasty decisions which I understand but I would like some outside advice since my parents would be fine with me doing what I like.

Thanks in advance !

Edit / Update:

I slept on the thought and i'm gonna just try my best to push through it. Better to try and fail than to not have tried at all, right? ^^

Good luck, in any case.
If you're sick very often and that's troubling could you perhaps try to do classes online or get online help?

Thanks !
Hm, I don't think I could do that since my course includes going out to volunteering.
I think i'll just have to put up with it and try my best, haha. xxx
