Ouch Ali. Who were you with? I'll remember to advise others to avoid them. Youth theatre gropus, when run with motivation and encouragement are a wonderful experience. I remember that I was a nervous odl actor to begin with and it was the interactions in the youth group that really helped me out of my shell.
You mention the thought of "that they must claw and fight one another to win in the acting proffession" and sadly I hav had experience with that as well. Although I have found this in all facets of acting and even daily life. This is not to say it's a good thing, but it is there and there is really no way around it. So in one respect, you could say that this experience could help prepare you for what may be out there.
As for trying to be an adult, some would say that actors are adults trying to be childeren and this includes the cat fighting also. Childeren are usually MORE competitive than adults.
I've learned that to get forward in this world it is a healthy combination of competitiveness as well as doing the Best you can. Being the best you can does not get you the work all the time. Getting out there and fighting for yourself wil help.
It is sad to think that your experience of such Theatre Groups has been primarially competitive.
Beat 'em WITH your talent and passion.
