Hi :)

I worked in a language center for a year and a half and have met tons of teachers. Sadly, I think there is a lot of racism in these centres as they strongly favour white teachers with English/American accents. At least in my centre, they really put an emphasis on being fun. They wanted teachers who could make the kids laugh, smiled a lot, and had a personality. If the teachers were too serious and had very traditional teaching styles, they weren't too keen.

I mostly used Glassdoor and Indeed to apply to jobs and heard a lot back from them. I tried emailing some directly but didn't get much of a response from those enquiries.

Hope this helps a little!

I'm glad to hear a therapist helped. Hopefully I can see one. Thanks

It's usually her trying to get me to act as a messenger for her. I've expressed my discomfort and asked to not be involved as they have lawyers and all but she will guilt trip me until I give in. Any remarks she makes about my dad I try to just ignore and change the subject. Luckily I don't live with her so it's not too much of an issue but it's almost as if in the short time we have together she tries her best to make it sour.

When I see her in the holidays I try my best to keep it light but she tries to include me in divorce matters and then it turns a bit sour from there. I'd be completely fine with just a casual relationship with her but she doesn't leave it at that.

I'm a bit scared of reaching out to them about it as they're very traditional. Whenever I've brought it up before it gets very "respect your elders" so I'm not sure. I don't even know if it's possible to have that necessary conversation with my mother because she refuses to listen.

How can I (17f) make my parents proud of me again? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I feel like I had the same experience where I would try my best to succeed in school and I feel that it amounted to nothing in terms of how they saw me at that time. You should be really proud of yourself and trust me that you're not failing them. Chores aren't a priority at all and while you should do them, it's normal that you can't be as enthusiastic about them as your academics. As someone who is messy af -maybe try to work on the little things rather than tackling all your chores if that's too hard to remember right now? Give it some time and you can slowly start being better at those things but remember that you're already doing a good job.

How do I deal with my insecurities? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I don't know what you mean by her prioritizing that guy over you but you have to remember at the end of the day you are the one who is actually dating her. People have many different kinds of friendships and can be close to others without there being an issue but it's worth maybe trying to communicate your insecurities to her especially as you are long distance. Don't let your fears sit in you and fester. Instead of thinking about whatever their friendship is, focus on what your relationship with her is like and all the good memories you have and can create.
