<p>So at school usually, people will usually make me do their homework...but i have a really hard time saying no to them..</p>
<p>can somebody give me tips on how to kindly say no to them ? because one time one person said that they legitimately couldn't do their homework but one hour later i saw them posting stuff on Facebook....</p>
<p>I have this problem too!!! No one actually asks me to do their homework but people ask for help and when they do they’re never actually asking me to explain it to them they just want me to do it for them so I do do it and then i just ;-; I don’t mind at all since it never really infringes on my study time but i do wish I could sometimes just help them instead of doing it for them. We’re too nice yomyomf </p>
<p>You really should be able to just say no, but you could also say you haven’t done it yet or that you don’t know how to do it either. Remember that you doing other people’s work isn’t really a nice thing to do, and you’re not doing them any favors in the long run. </p>
<p>It is about controlling you.
Stand up for yourself and tell them to do their own work.
Learn how to refuse someone without feeling you are losing their friendship.
If they are really a friend, they wouldn’t be taking advantage of your helpfulness.</p>
<p>Lol I would say, “Don’t be a lazy ass and just do it. If it’s because you don’t understand then I will help a bit, if you still don’t understand, ASK THE TEACHER.” Other then that, just look at them and say no. If they as why, just look away and focus on your work or whatever you’re doing.</p>
<p>If it’s something really basic, just show them the concept and work through it. If it’s an entire set of problems/an assignment:</p>
<p>“Can you show me how to do all of these?”
“Why? Weren’t you paying attention to the lecture…?”
“Yeah, but I don’t get it.”
“Well then, you should probably learn how to do it. Yourself.”</p>
<p>Then watch as they turn in disappointment to your friend for help instead. </p>
<p>i know this is really mean but this is what i used to do :
we used to have these latin translations
so i would do it correctly and i give a google translation of the latin and i will give them the google one. </p>
<p>but when we get our grades back, my “friend” would always question why my grade was always better than his …</p>
<p>Alternatively, if you really find it hard to say no, start charging money upfront:
“Do my homework!”
“K, give me $50 first.”
“What!”
“Limited time offer. Price goes up to $100 after 10 miniutes. You in or what?”</p>
<p>(That was a joke. It’s just fun to think of all the ways to say no.)</p>
<p>If you can’t say no, then make it a point to have them learn the material they’re trying to rip off you(making them stay and learn is key). Those that truly don’t understand the material and want to learn will learn it and eventually stop bothering because they can do on their own and those that are lazy and trying to rip you off will get annoyed and bother someone else to their homework or not do it all together. Or you could just say you didn’t get the material and hand it over to the teacher in private. </p>
