Why is my friend copying me?

Question

we are doing a school project so i phoned up my friend and told her what I was doing. immediatly she said she was doing that to and said that it was her idea and would not change what she was doing. I am currently NOT speaking with her until she says that she won't copy me.Im really angry with her cos she is doing exactly the same as me and I really don't want the teacher to think that i copied her. what should I do?

Answer 1

If you said what you were doing, then she said she was also doing that, then how do you know that she wasn't actually planning on doing that? You might have both thought of the same idea. Also, if you don't want the teacher to think you copied her, then do something else. I doubt the teacher will think that you copied, if you both thought of it, i'm sure most people in your class did too, so maybe you should choose something more original?

If she did copy you, well you already have lots of answers above, saying how people copy because they look up to you, or because they are too insecure to do something different etc etc

Answer 2

I wouldn't worry too much if I were you. In the end, both your results will not be exactly the same. She probably heard your thoughts and took it as an idea to try it herself. I'm sure you have had a similar experience in the past where you were in her shoes right know. The fact is that human beings can not just survive on their own, people need eachother to get past the hard times even if it isn't a hard time for you.

Answer 3

Your friend is NOT a mind reader so what do you expect her to do? Change her project? Her mind is made up so you have to step up your game and have an even better project than hers. Don't let this silly copying project come between your friendship because you don't want to lose her due to the fact that SHE copied you. This is really silly. Talk to your friend and make amends. Think about it.

Answer 4

i really think u just shouldnt even care about what ever she does. The reason why she is coppying is becoz she is insecure of what she is doing . Tell u what , let her do the same project as you are doing but what u can do is you can make your project better than hers by collecting more data, more pictures, present the materials in a better way. That itself gives u a thums up on her.

Eventaully she will be ready to initiate searching on your opinion as you slowly steer her to a sparkling attractive kind.

Answer 6

People copy you because they look up to you, be happy that you have the skills and talent which she doesn't have. Scared teacher saidyou copied her? Produce a piece of outstanding work, that is much better than hers

Answer 7

Some people don't like to be different from other people - she obviously admires you very much, so don't be too hard on her. You might do your project on the same topic, but the content will be completely different.

Answer 8

You should treat it as a Compliment,the Fact that she has
Copied your Work shows she respects you and your Ideas.
There is also the Chance she has'nt got a lot of Imagination...
Do you need Friends like her??

Answer 9

a) let it serve you as a lesson for the future, that is JUST KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT...and DON'T TRUST ANYBODY...AND ABOVE ALL, NOT A TEENAGE GIRL.

you seem like a nice gal, but unfortunately nice innocent gals like you are very rare. the majority of gals of your age are sl*uts nowdays so just keep that in mind and adapt your attitude when dealing with sluts.

it could have been worse you know. this gal is the stereotype of the so called best-friend who steals your jerk of a boyfriend and hops into bed with him on the first chance.

take care darling...there are real dorks out there in the teenage world.

Answer 10

talk to the teacher straight up right now. tell him or her that it was your idea basically tell him or her the whole story. ithe teacher should understand.
