It’s July, and while most of us are enjoying the summer break, my close friend is stuck retaking some classes because he failed two courses last semester. He asked me to help him get through the workload, especially the essays. At first I agreed, thinking I’d just review a couple drafts. But now he’s constantly asking me to write things from scratch or “just fix it quickly,” and I feel like I’m being taken advantage of.
I want to be supportive, but I also have my own stuff to do. Has anyone else had this kind of situation? How do you help someone without doing all the work for them?

Oh wow, I’ve totally been in your shoes. My roommate once asked for “a little help” and before I knew it, I was practically doing his final paper. It’s so hard to draw the line between helping and enabling. Maybe try setting boundaries before it drains you completely. Good luck!
A friend of mine had a similar issue last summer — her younger brother kept piling work on her. Eventually, she suggested he look up do my essay https://studyfy.com/ services to get proper guidance instead of always relying on her. It turned out to be a great solution — he got personalized help and learned how to improve his writing too. It’s not about cheating, just getting unstuck. If your friend’s really struggling, it might help them become more independent.
Thank you all for the advice — I really needed to hear this! I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s dealt with this kind of situation. I’ll definitely check out that site and try to talk to my friend about setting some limits. Appreciate the support and ideas!
