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?
