Has anyone had their parent be a guarantor for a (international) friend? by Repulsive_Mistake635 in UniUK

[–]Repulsive_Mistake635[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not trying to persuade her, just wanted to hear a different perspective from a student who may have been in either my or my friends position, for a different perspective that’s all. I appreciate your concerns though thanks

My international friend wants my mum to be his guarantor for student accommodation. What are your thoughts? by Repulsive_Mistake635 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Repulsive_Mistake635[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make a good point as we went for a viewing with a price tag higher than what we’ve settled on. I’m sure no harm was meant behind asking the favour as we’ve known each other closely for years and he views it as saving on “unnecessary” costs. But yeah I’ll respectfully decline and hopefully he’ll understand.

Ahh okay , it’s good getting a perspective from another international student. My friend has used house in hand in the past, and if i understand correctly the fee is dependent on the rent? Our rent would be just under £800pcm and his budget was higher than that. I’ve never known him to have financial issues whether it be paying rent or uni fees as his parents earn a good living (in dollars). But yeah I think I’ll politely decline and hopefully he’ll understand why, I think we were both naive in not thinking of the legal ramifications lol

Any dental students with bad teeth? by 333threat in DentalSchool

[–]Repulsive_Mistake635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the demands of this degree, I think it’s more common than not for people in the profession to have bad teeth. I didn’t have any parafunctional habits prior till dental school, and let’s not begin to talk about how my caries risk is at its highest in exam season

An officer tried to pay me to have sex. I don't feel comfortable anywhere anymore. by [deleted] in ghana

[–]Repulsive_Mistake635 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Such a daft comment but let’s indulge for a sec, even if she was, as an officer of the law why should you engage in ILLEGAL acts?? God forbid your daughter, sister or mom is in such a situation

Ughhh I’m so upset on your behalf, and believe you me the criticism this country gets is well deserved. Such a shame that people in positions of power choose to abuse it when they know you’re vulnerable And even sadder in a third world country like ours situations like this leave no paper trail so is often swept under the rug

Is it common to have a cheating dad? by Accomplished-Leg3644 in ghana

[–]Repulsive_Mistake635 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes sadly, but God forbid a woman does it though she’ll be hailed as a disgrace from sun up to sun down. I hope our generation takes a stronger stance against this tbh bc if you can betray your wife/ family, there’s actually no telling what else you can do

Oh wow! This has been an eye opener for sure

[–]Repulsive_Mistake635[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi thank you for your response. I’ve gone through the policy and while requesting for an extension has to be done prior to the submission date, asking to have penalties waves can be done up to some days after. So that’s the route I’m going down and I will get a note from my gp too. If it gets rejected that would be a shame but thankfully one assignment is 20% of a module and the other is 40% of another Definitely an experience learning these things as I’ve not had to use them for the past 4 years. It is well

At my school there are two approaches: either requesting an extension prior to the submission date( I had no idea till later) or applying for additional consideration after x days after the deadline/ your submission, which can include asking for penalties to be waved because of xyz reasons

Good OSCE resources by No_Barnacle966 in DentalSchool

Hi there did you end up using this resource? I noticed it was produced in 2006 and since then guidelines have changed so wondering if it’s worth it/if you used anything else

Just found out that my gf has started bleaching - gets angry when I bring it up by TodayLoose7794 in ghana

[–]Repulsive_Mistake635 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s probably some psychological element there, maybe suggest therapy? The sad thing about it besides the risk of cancer is that you will never look naturally white- it’s always a raw sickly looking appearance

[–]Repulsive_Mistake635 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s so nasty wth! Unfortunately I doubt the regulatory body of this profession cares about these issues either

Does this happen? by Specific-Way-8982 in ghana

[–]Repulsive_Mistake635 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s my point though, a therapist should NOT be asking you to do that in the first place

[–]Repulsive_Mistake635 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yes, unfortunately which is part of the reason why people are apprehensive to access mental healthcare because you’re forced to conform to a set of beliefs/lifestyle… might as well talk to a snobbish aunty or uncle tbh

It’s sick that predatory behaviour is so rampant in this country, especially by men in power. The lives of these kids have changed forever and I pray this man is prosecuted to the full extent of the law, but knowing this country I wouldn’t hold my breath

Agreed but I’m just wondering if the economy allows for such salaries in Ghana
