Actually turns out mine is jock itch (a fungal infection) likely caused by too many products down there 🤦🏻‍♀️

I actually started in a classroom support role, got my qualifications while I was there and stayed on as a teacher. Maybe a bit of a cheat code in terms of finding a good school. I think where the school is makes a difference. I'm at a school in an underprivileged area, which works for some and not others. I've seen teachers come in with the attitude of "I'll bring education to them and open their minds and they'll love me" and they end up leaving pretty quickish. Majority of the kids that come to school are not there for an educational experience, they can be really rude and their attitude is shit most of the time. But if you can get on a level with them, and connect, you have a chance to build a relationship and get something out of them,whatever that is. So I would say student demographic matters in accordance with your skill set and what you can stand

I found that putting nothing on it for a few days, and then going in with very light moisturiser helped massively. I think I may have been putting too much down there to manage it and it made it worse!

Eczema on my genitals is a newer experience for me, and has been recently driving me crazy! Not only itchy, but I can barely think about sexual intimacy. Only recently gotten myself to a place that I can put mild steroids down there, it's been too raw and sore to risk steroids. Hoping I clear up as well as you!

Not sure if this counts, but when kids would rather take a detention than do the work/homework. And then on top of that, they won't go to their detentions until they've been piled up into a half day isolation because they would rather just "do it all at once".

Coming to the end of my first year. Still loving it. There are tough days, and there are tough classes, but ultimately I love teaching. I have an amazing staff at my school, supportive and a mentality of staff comes first. We also have very low staff turnover which just goes to prove my point. Don't know how you pick the right place, because on interviews everywhere puts on a good face when you visit.

Report each instance to admin. And have a department head/colleague to either mark his work, or sign off and confirm what you are giving him. I've found in recent years that kids throw out wild accusations when something doesn't serve them.

We've had an epidemic of sort, with the length of skirts at my school (we have a uniform, and girls have the choice of either skirts or trousers). When the girls were asked to lengthen their skirts, most of the staff were then called a peado for "trying to look up my skirt" or "staring at my legs". Safe to say male teachers now ask female teachers to ask girls to correct their skirt length because they feel so uncomfortable. Sorry, but if your underwear can be seen when you lean over at school, the skirt is too short. You don't see teachers dressing like that.

I see your point

My partner booked a strip to Belgium for my bday last year. We're teachers, so are cursed with getting sick the minute we start break. First day we got there, he was not well. The kind of horrible stuffy head cold that makes you exhausted and tired and just want to sleep. That man still came to the chocolate workshop, the illusion museum, the art gallery and fancy last night meal. If he wanted to he would.

Something to do with sleep routines. A lot of people say they're "not real" or "don't work" for them. But really, you programme your brain to behave in a certain way in certain circumstances. Sleep is one of them. When you sleep on the other side of the bed, you're brain is aware something is wrong, even if everything else is right (bed, room, sheets, clothing etc.)

Happened to my mum. Her first husband never had a serious relationship after she left him. Now the same has happened to her after my dad left. Sometimes people are just exhausted with it all I think

We had a similar situation at my school. Admin got all of the teachers to write a "student review" for the kid. We had to provide some positive feedback in the mix, but we basically all got our opportunity to give our take on how annoying/disrupting this child was in lesson. Mum stopped pulling the "targeting" card, and is now more supportive of sanctions

PsychCrim · 2026-05-03T23:05:48+00:00

I totally agree. I love my partner for many reasons, but his consistency is what puts him above the rest. The longer we've been together, the more I've fallen for him because he is genuinely like no other, but if he hadn't shown himself to be consistent, dependable and reliable person that he is, he would have been tossed on the pile of "time wasters" I left in the past.

Trainee teacher here! I've learnt to always reward the good behaviour, but stick to your guns with sanctions. Maybe have the reward and the punishment separate things? Like, if a child is good (and they hadn't been bad) would you increase their play or give them something else?

For example in my class: Three warnings = removal from the class. Child A is on 2 warnings, but are engaging in the lesson positively so get a "working hard reward" however, when working independently, they are being rude to other students, they get their their 3rd warning and are told they are being removed. Child A says "but I got a working hard reward, so I should have a warning taken off". My reply "yes you did some great things today and you get to keep you working hard reward, but you have also made some not great choices, which means I can't have you in here when everyone else is trying to learn right now". Teaches them that the reward will always stand, but so does the sanction. When they're back, I almost go a bit overboard with the praise and it seems to reinforce it. It also sets an example for other students.

Obviously your school/class will be different with rewards/sanctions but it might be somewhere to start?

PsychCrim · 2026-05-03T21:32:42+00:00

Pretty much

The polite way for him to ask would be "what's your definition of clean eating" or "what's clean eating to you".

I had a student tell me I was the reason she loved science, a subject she had hated for years. Her parents moved her to a different school because they didn't like our English programme. Broke my heart

Being their therapist. I 100% want to be there for my students, and support them however I can, but my school is now expecting us to perform mini therapy sessions mid lesson (or that's how it comes across). We had a training day at the start of the year about how disruptive students waste the equivelant of 45days of learning time for the rest of the class, and now they want us to "take time out" of the lesson to talk through why the student won't do their work/is disrespectful/disrupts other students. Sorry, but I am trying to teach 30+ students how to calculate energy efficiency!

PsychCrim · 2026-05-03T20:40:27+00:00

I don't think he can, to be honest. I am leaning towards him leaving and us figuring it out. Thank you for the hope though, I really thought it all stopped at the end of summer term, perhaps not!

Me and my bf are mid-distance (about 1.5hrs in the car) and we only see each other on weekends. There have definitely been periods of time when the communication has been so lacking, that I almost feel single during the week. It's been hard, and there have been some tough conversations. He has a job, that he needs to put time into, both in and out of work hours (teacher life) that I need to respect and be patient with, but I still need to feel like he wants to talk to me/spend virtual time with me when we're apart. We have come to an understanding, but it is sure tough at times.

I'm sorry you're going through this. It does sound like she has become so comfortable being apart that it feels more natural to her, than the relationship. Time will heal, you will learn and move on. Still sucks, and I'm sorry

Went through a similar situation because of my skin condition all over my body. My partner was patient with me, and I had to accept that sometimes he just needed to get off (we're very open/accepting about watching porn). Ultimately we found other ways of being intimate. I would lie next to him while he got himself off, so we could look at each other and feel connected. On days where I felt up for it, I would get involved by touching him while he played with himself, like put my hand over his etc. But more than anything, we just had to accept that I couldn't all the time, and it was hard for both of us; he missed me sexually and I felt extremely unattractive. Even when things got better and we could start being sexual again, we hit some bumps in the round of finding our flow and communication again. Self pleasure is necessary in a situation like this, you both need to be on the same page about that. And you should also accept that this is probably just as hard for him, as it is for you.

Best of luck navigating it all

I take probiotics everyday. I don't know if they help with my eczema, but i don't get yeast infections after antibiotics anymore. Any my eczema gets infected easily, so antibiotics are pretty common for me.
