friends help: So I have a guy friend who’s need failing some classes. - Help.com

So I have a guy friend who’s need failing some classes.

Well I think it’s because he’s not really doing the work and he’s freaking out because he might have to be held back. It’s not helping that he spends almost everyday with his girlfriend.

He asked me if I could help him, I told hm all he just need to do is actually do the work and pay attention in class and quit being a slacker. Now he’s all mad at me for not helping him. Should I help him anyway?

You have helped him by not enabling him. He just doesn’t see that right now.
But at the same time, being supportive also helps. Maybe he’s genuinely not getting it, maybe he doesn’t understand and so he doesn’t do his homework because he doesn’t. In that case, why not help? But don’t do the work for him.

all you really have to do is be a good friend…if you help, this will only make him lazy,so he won’t do the work, and later on he will have a test and he wont know anything for it because he didnt do the work….so be a good friend by just talking to him about it, tell him what you think and say thet he shouldnt be mad at you..because you arnt doing anything wrong.

You have definitely already helped him. What he is LOOKING FOR is someone to do his work for him. Too bad. He needs to prioritize his time. If he spends all of his waking hours socializing with his girlfriend, he won’t be putting in the necessary hours for his schoolwork. He’s hoping you’ll do his work for him so he can pass and still spend all of his time with his girlfriend. You did the right thing. One last piece of advice: Don’t be a victim of “approval addiction.” Don’t be afraid to say “no” to unreasonable requests. By the way, when was the last time somebody did YOUR work for YOU?
