I am in Year 12 studying for 3 A-levels and one AS level, but I am fed up with the courses, and I am fed with being at school. My parents want me to stay on and complete the A-level choices, they say that I will come to regret it if I don't. What should I do?

I'm in Year 12 and I know that I should be making plans and decisions for the future. Some of my friends already know what careers they want, even what college or university they want to go to. Do I have to go away to get on in life? How do I decide where to go and what to do?
