I work at a wildlife rehab center as an unpaid intern and it’s really great experience because I want to go into vet school. However, I’ve noticed a lot of the paid workers are really rude to interns, talking about us behind our backs, starting rumors and such. It’s gotten to a point where I just don’t want to go to work because I feel under appreciated by the people I work with when I’m working really hard and trying to do my best. I make mistakes yes, I’m 19 and it’s my first real experience in a place like this so I feel like that shouldn’t be wildly unexpected and I accept criticism but I don’t appreciate rumors and bullying. I’ve worked jobs before and have never experienced this at another place, I would like to continue because it would give me good experience but I really hate this atmosphere. I hope that vet clinics aren’t like this as well because I might want to switch my professional goals then. I would appreciate any advice. I don’t think management would do anything about it because most paid employee have been there a long time and probably have been doing this with other interns as well, (manager seems really biased towards them as well)

Hello, I (19F) am really unhappy in my relationship with my bf (19M). We have been distant for months and now suddenly he’s being all loving and nice and asked me out for a date soon. I said yes mostly because I’m bad at saying no but that’s beside the point. I have been unhappy for a while but stuck because of confidence issues. This is my first relationship and I have no clue how to break up with someone. I know I should probably do it in person it’s just so intimidating. He has been manipulating for a while maybe just subconsciously but it still makes me fear doing it in person in case he tries to talk me out of it and I know I need to do this for myself, I just suck at standing up for myself. I don’t even know to ask to meet in person for something like this. I also know I’m going to cry when I see him because I still care about him I just can’t be in this relationship anymore for the sake of my mental health. And I really don’t want to go on that date, I need to do this as soon as possible. Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you (I tried to keep this as anonymous as possible with details because I know he has Reddit)

TLDR: I’m unhappy in my long term relationship and I need advice on breaking up
