Freeloading Classmates....GRRR!

[hangnon]

Okay....

I have a classmate who always seems to be freeloading off of me. For a while I thought she was my friend, but now I just feel like she uses me. She uses me for rides to places, my washing machine and dryer and now recently got upset with me because I didn't want to sit on the phone and give her the answers to our homework, let alone talk on the phone when it was late because I just wanted to relax. Now she's giving me the silent treatment, but I know that'll end to next time she wants something from me. Any advice?

"That whole "feeling bad for them" thing is a guilt trip. It is a perfectly healthy response to feel angry when someone is trying to manipulate you. Ignoring it doesn't do you or them any favors. Be courageous... Speak your truth... simply, calmly, without apology or agenda."

Great advice. :)

you aren't doing anyone any favors when you get roped into something like this

not yourself, not the patients that will need to be taken care of p graduation, and really not even this person...she needs to learn to study..needs to discipline herself to budget her time...if she drops out if would probably be for the best..
