My rights at work?

[Swordpoker]

Poppet,

I didn't get into Uni through the normal channels and I messed up the clearing process as well (aiming my sights a bit high compared to my results) so I just started phoning around. Eventually I spoke to a Head of Dept and got an offer over the phone - for a course I was theoretically under qualified for.

Going to uni is one of the best things I have ever done.

It is most definitely not too late. Be assertive!

Hi, I dont know you, unlike the majority of the folks who responded so heres a outsiders view. At you youthful age, you can do anything you wish, if and only you have the correct mindset, which isnt present at the moment. No disrespects to the people who shout go to uni go to uni, University isnt for you right now, these days you can go to Uni at any age, you can even do evening courses if you wished after a few months. It seems to me that your current partner isnt being very caring, otherwise you wouldnt be finding yourself in your current situation. If you dont like work, or dislike the people you are working for, tell them to fuck off politely. You have poker knowledge, go work in a casino or something while you settle your mind over the next year when you will be 20 - then you will have all this mess behing and you can focus on what you wish to achieve and hopefully you will have some extra cash, at your age you are too young to have a house, too young do be involved with someone who treats you with disrespect and someone who obviously hasnt a care in the world for you. Perhaps you should ask yourself why you love this guy, personally if something treated me badly from time to time, I wouldnt have much passion for them. There is obviously something you see in this person and I think it wud be in your best interest to move on, find a position in a local casino, or even go to the local employment agency, you would have a fresh start by next Monday, if money was an issue, I am certain someone somewhere would borrow you the finances to get a houseshare and deposit for a month. You said you need bills for your mobile & clothes?? Hmmm, think both of them could wait till u have ur immediate state settled a little more. Im guessing things are pretty bad hence asking for advice on here, just try not to make any rash decisions and also , if you leave this guy now and try and sort yourself out in a better position, its not all lost, some months down the line, he may realise what he had, and how unfairly he treated you at times, and it might wake him up a little. after all you never know what you have till its gone...dont be scared, there is always someone to help, and perhaps one day in the future the correct decision of leaving now might pay off, he might get himself together and start to support you a little more etc etc. Of course I am not aware of all the details so Im just guessing that things are pretty desperate. I wish you well young lady.

GO TO UNI!

It's the best time you'll have!

I moved away to uni in Aberdeen when I was 17 with no money at all, It was great!  Halls with random people, magic!

Move into halls, and get away from that muppit, you can get a your loan from SAAS, explain your not living at home or anything and they will give ytou the full bursery.

They will give you a hardship load from uni till your Bursery comes through, then your laughing!

I left Uni early to move back home, and I regret it every day!  Trust me, its the best decision you will ever make, plus you get to start an independant life

Just been reading through this, it's far better than ACAS!!!!!



Poppet the best advice I've seen on here is GO TO UNI.... i wish i had gone aged 18 instead of struggling to do a degree aged 35 with a full time job mortgage kids wife etc.....
work hard and enjoy life you only get one... it brings the best rewards.
