how to say 'NO' to friends who always ask to copy your homework? i really want to help them, but not that way. i just don't want to get mad, u know how teenagers are. i feel so bad b/c sometimes i work really hard on that assignment & then just let them copy it. how should i say 'NO' in the nice way? but not too reasonable b/c they hate it when i'm being a smart butt.

Tell them your mom found out they're doing it (make up a story about how she found out) & tell them she said she's going to ground you & talk to your teachers if you do it again.

Letting them just get one answer out of a whole bunch of other questions isn't that bad, But when they just come to school every morning and expect for you to give them all the answers of a page is a huge problem! To try and put the saying "No" in a nice way I suggest it be this: "I really don't want you nor I to get caught in this situation, So I would suggest that you start doing your work by yourself. If you need help, all you have to do is ask me. When those tests come, everything is going to catch up with you and I don't want that to happen. I think you need to learn on your own, or don't try at all and Flunk this Grade." Tell them how you feel about this, then maybe they'll understand completely. Hope everything works out!~Kayla J.

How about you help them but don't neccessarily give them your homework? Give them little hints and stuff, but they have to do the work on their own. Remember, you have to try to instill some responsibility in your friends. They can't lean on you forever to do their homework. Will you still be there to help them when you go off to college? I think not. Don't be afraid to say "No" but if that really bothers you, help them SLIGHTLY! Give em a clue.
Good luck!

honestly, u should tell them
1)if they ask u again ,tell them that u spent too much time doing this H.W but u r going to help them this time only because they are your close friends (but say with a smile on ur face).
2)If they ask u again tell them that this is not going to help them later making them not following up with the classes and by this way they are taking somebody else's work(but this time say it seriously and don't give ur work to them)
p.s : if one asks u to copy H.W because she is sick tell her to tell the teacher and i am sure the teacher will execuse her .

To teach them a lesson, when they ask you to copy your homework you give them a sheet of paper that says "get off your lazy *** and go do your own homework"! You go girl.

oh no, don't do that, i think you should tell them that your just going to help them, not to copy, because, you know, in our batch all of my classmates are so lazy doing that thing, but i think you should tell them that you'll only help them, in that way you will help them w/o turning their backs to you, just tell them your not always there for them and tell them they should take their own responsibilities in a gentle voice:-)
