This is getting annoying

I can truly relate to this and yes sometimes I turn off my cellphone or just ignore them and in the morning say that I had no load. LoL. I think it is okay to help, but don't overdo it or else you are teaching your classmate to be dependent and that wouldn't help them in the future. Teach them independence by making them do what they ought to do.

Hi. tecchigurl. Yes, I can see how this is getting to be annoying. I think that it is not fair that you are giving them the answers to assignments and then only to have them not do any work themselves at all. It is almost like they are cheating and they are being sneaky too. It is wrong for them to always need this kind of favor from you. They have to do their own assignments. Using your answers is like they are cheating and not studying at all. You may have to keep your cell phone off and if they still ask you for answers to your assignments, tell them that you can no longer help them anymore. Just remember, that real friends don't make you give them something freely that they have not worked hard for themselves.

That's too bad. Your classmates must be responsible for their own works and assignments. Maybe one or two times of helping them is fine,but making it as a habit it's not good anymore. It's like they are abusing your kindness then...better say no. have a good day

Hi Tecchigurl! That can really be annoying! What do they take you for? They are starting to abuse your kindness. Little do they know that they are abusing their parents' hard-earned money to put them up to school only to cheat on homework. If they cant do their homework, how can they possibly pass the school exams? If i were you, i would squeeze myself out of this abusive relationship.

I think you are easy to talk with. So do i.. Now I am learning how to refuse others. Although when I refuse someone, I feel guilt when I look their disappointment. But only I can do is to steel my heart. Because if I accept their requests this time, they would ask for me again. As time went by, They thought it's my responsibility to help them. So now, refuse them when they ask for you help.

I get this all the time! People have even started asking for help with classes I don't even do. It sounds bad but sometimes the easiest way to stop it is to pretend like you just don't know the answers. It comes down to you deciding where the line is and at what point have you stopped doing them favors and they've starting taking advantage of you? But sometimes just ignoring your phone or msn for a couple of hours is the best thing to do :) x~x

Are you someone who just can't say 'no?' Especially when those that you know are asking for such kind of favors? My classmates before use to ask me for answers on our homework. At first I just let them have what they want, but a point came when I really didn't want to spoon feed them anymore. So one time, when a classmate asked if I could let him have some answers on our homework, even though I already finished mine, I simply said, 'I haven't done mine yet..' and pretended to start doing mine. There was another time when another classmate asked for that kind of favor, I replied, 'I was about to ask you the same thing!' Yeah, I know.. to lie is not a good thing, even if it's used to avoid hurting their feelings, but we tend to do that. (-_-")

If they are overdoing it to the point that it is bothering you then you should just tell them that you really just don't have the time right now and that you have your own work to get caught up on. If they are really your friends then they will understand. And yes...turn off the cell phone for a while at least.

charge them. They will either not want to pay and leave you a lone or you'll make some extra cash something we could all use.
