Could this be due to how alot of people in this generation (especially after the pandemic) are just being rebellious, disrespectful and try to be "cool" by idk being controversially popular on social media, bypassing age restrictions (like to drink alcohol, set fireworks, prostitution), showing off their "dream" tall bf or short and cropped gf instead of revising, going to clubs, as if all these matter? On Rosie Mcclean's GCSE vid, a few comment said that GCSEs and A-Levels are getting worse due to the number of individuals being rebellious like that. Of course, these are NPCs so it may not be true, but sometimes these harsh truths may give points.

It cannot be due to the pandemic, because almost all of the British Asian students in 2020 to present still got grade 9s in everything.
