I did it at GCSE, found it pretty boring. But I was very unmotivated and lazy during my GCSEs

I can't really remember TBH 
We were looking at different social groupings, looking into why criminals commit crime and stuff like that
I also did a massive project on football hooliganism.

yup i did it at a/s level just finished it last term, i was really interested in it, really good subject.
sort of revolves around life and how it influences people and how we influence life, norms, values ect.
Although its not a subject every one will like, its very text/essay intensive no coursework and all exams.
That said i really enjoyed it for those reasons theres a hell of a lot of reading to do and information to take in, but if you do well with written exams its quite good.
i came out with 265 out of 300 for the full year exams  which i was quite pleased with lol.

yep, did it for AS's, was pretty interesting, reading about marxisim etc but its a lot of essay work and reading and the final years project is usually a ball ache.
Depends what you plan to do at uni/future life, but it does open your mind a bit!
saying all that, i dropped it for a-level and just chucked all my old work out

aye, did my as final year project on Public education tags - was interesting to research about and that going to public school does usually mean you have more chance over a state educated person for a job.
But like i said, was a complete ball ache and hours and hours of reading!

psychology, english/history, economics/business, general studies, biology - i suppose along those lines. Most people that i knew where doing sociology did psychology and english or with a science
