Re: The “last movie you watched” thread
Last night u went to see a live performance of Blade Runner. We'd got free tickets from my mum's friend as she was unable to make it. It was basically a cinema viewing at a concert hall with the live concert music, so essentially a horror type sci-fi movie with intensified sound effects. Pretty cool!

Re: Has anyone ever been through this sort of thing before?
Hey @Depresso_Espresso
Welcome to the boards!
Echoing what @Riley has said there, though this is UK based, everyone is welcome. Our cultures may differ but the experiences are relatable. Thank you so much for posting here.
In terms of the football player you mentioned:
- You got yourself out of an uncomfortable situation, where this dude (mods, can I call him a douche? D-Bag?) clearly lacked respect for your boundaries. You have a strong sense of self, and don't let anyone shame you otherwise.
- The fact that this dude went around spreading false and harmful rumours about you, purely before he didn't get what he wanted, shows that you did not just get out of an uncomfortable situation. You dodged a bullet, a nuclear missile, etc.
I'm sorry you're going through a really tough time at school.
You don't deserve to go through this mess, as a result of this boy's foolishness. Have you spoken to the teachers? A school counsellor?
If you feel comfortable, confide in your friends and reach out to us too!
I've been through a similar experience when I was in secondary school, from Year 7 to Year 9.
Though it slowed down from Year 10 onwards, I'm still trying to cope with the aftermath.
Let me post this picture here:
Frankly, I have my days where it gets to me.
How are you doing?
