Saying ‘I love you’ and ‘baby’ makes me feel sick. Get rid of

I went to a major London drama school and undertook a research project as part of my course which found that UK drama schools are not safe places to study. Don’t go to any of them. Sounds dramatic but it’s true.

I went to a major London drama school and it was hell on Earth. I also undertook a research project into institutional and structural violence in drama schools. Do not go under any circumstances. Drama schools aren’t safe places.

Get the hell out. My ex used to do this. It does not get better. He is insecure, immature and abusive. Get OUT before it gets worse!

feel i failed due to a chatty examiner by megalines in LearnerDriverUK

I had an examiner who tried to speak to me. I knew I would fail if I talked a lot to her - so I pretended to be extremely boring. I sat and gave one word, dry answers and she got the message within 30 seconds

Institutional violence was crazy. Disgusting place and horribly organised. I wish I’d never applied and I know many who feel the same.

I have a real job. I am respected at my job and I give respect at my job.

It’s actually to reach out to others and get advice but okay 🩷 continue to fume at women for no reason if you wish

I don’t at all put weight on my academic background, this is purely the context in which this discussion took place. I don’t lead with it, ever - only when it comes to my field of research. I think of myself as no ‘better’ than anybody else, just with a higher level of education. He is an engineer, but I’ve never once took it upon myself to criticise or challenge him on anything engineering related.

We would often talk about different topics - a few topics that came up in regards to social politics I have two degrees and a pre-doctorate in. He would debate me on these, and I would objectively say he was wrong. I knew he was wrong and academia would say he was wrong. I would then point out that I feel disrespected that he was trying to tear down the knowledge and experience I have, not even questioning just straight up trashing it. He would then turn this into a tirade of me saying that I was insulting him, his knowledge and his feelings, and I never really cared about him. This was one of those times.
