This is the moment disappointed A-level students react to being 'completely screwed over' amid an A-level marking clampdown as the proportion of top grades plunged.
The heartbreaking footage showed family members and teachers comforting teens who were left disappointed by the grades they were handed this morning.
One mother crowded around her daughter as she opened her results, encouraging her by saying, 'A, B, C. That's good!', only to be told bluntly by the unimpressed pupil, 'that's awful'.
Another parent peeks over the shoulder of her son's results to say, 'You're a bit disappointed aren't you', to which he replies: 'It's alright... For f**k sake.'
Others were reduced to tears after they teared into the envelope, being consoled by their friends, as another downhearted student said: 'Psychology was meant to be my highest grade and it seems to be two grades below what I expected.'
It was not all doom and gloom for some, however, as a mother and father emotionally embraced their child as he revealed his good results.
Another mother and daughter can be seen with tears of joy as they hugged and celebrated the good news.
