Lazy Friend

i have a friend and she is really lazy. When she asks to be my partner in a project, i don’t want to say no so i agree. When we do teh project, i end up doing most of teh work and she is really careless. Right now, we are doing an art project together and she forgot the other half in school and it is due on MOnday while today is Saturday. I don’t know what to do.

Answer #1

Dehappy_babycakes, First of all if you know she won’t do her part and you said yes…then do the work. You knew she wouldn’t do it so now is not the time to complain. Finish the project get a good mark and chalk it up to experience. Next time you may not be so quick to say yes. Sue…good luck

Answer #2

tell her 2 redo her part of the project,and if not then she will av 2 do it all,as 4 u ,u already av half done so u should fly trou it

Answer #3

I understand that you are wanting to be a good friend and avoid any confrontation, but you cannot allow her to use you. That is what she is doing. It would be best if the next time the situation arises that she needs a partner, you find one first. And if that fails, just plain tell her no. Calmly explain the situation to her and if she wants to make a big deal about it, or hold it against you, re-evaluate the friendship. Life is too short to try to help someone who won’t do things for themself. You cannot let someone else mess you up in school, or anywhere else. You will not be able to change her if she doesn’t want to change, and to even think about changing, she needs to be faced with the plain truth.

Take care and good luck.

fool me once shame on you. fool me twice shame on me. do you suffer fools well? some of us mostly dont. some of us do and its not working well for us. you will learn many lessons thru trial and error your preferences and tolerances and im sure you will be burned many times in the next yrs as you come to rely on people who arent reliable. i think most people find their method of coping . you will too xo

Answer #5

What you usually do is talk to her calmly and ask her why she doens’t help you in your projects ever, and if she seems to get mad, then igore that she knows she is wrong and she will cathc up to it and want to help you.
