Guys I wanna do all the GCSEs that everyone says don’t do should I take their warnings??

Drama/performing arts Art History Geography Child development Food tech English lit

Also how many options do you get?? -From a year nine :)

Edit: these are the things I wouldn’t mind doing, but I’m really most passionate about history. The rest is just preferences if I have more options. Most people say you get three or four so yeah. By the way I plan to take a gap year to exchange in Japan as a high school student in year 12 so I don’t know if that changes anything.. any exchangers recommendations on what options I should choose? If there was a Japanese Mfl at my school I would do it but we’ve only got French and Spanish
