  ha.. reality is there's plenty of people like that out there in the world.. and they don't just ask for help in school related subjects.. @_@ it is annoying nonetheless but think of it this way.. you could very well be in that position one day and wouldn't you want someone to help you too? everyone needs help sometimes and it's up to us to help each other along the way.. of course there's a bottom line to this and to which you would have to decide where it should be.. =)
  
  personally.. i don't mind helping a fellow classmate with a few questions even if they seem stupid.. i'm a student just like the rest of them and sometimes you miss a few things in the lecture.. but when the questions start getting insistent and they start asking for your digits and msn.. it's time to raise the red flag.. =P normally with people like such.. i would just smile and say "i don't know".. X)
  
  my friends tell me that i've become an anti-social person since i got into uni.. but it's not that i don't want to socialize.. i just find that most people come up to you so that they can get help.. sort of like friends with benefits.. only most of the time you're the only one providing the benefit.. and then they run off.. so to save myself from wasting time and effort.. i just don't bother.. which comes back to the problem of how difficult it is to remain frds in uni.. why can't people approach you genuinely to be frds instead of just using you as a homework bank.. =(

  lol i used to do this in highschool. In my grade 10 science class, I would ask the girl next to me (who was a complete and total nerd btw) absolutely everything. I didnt copy her answers tho. I more just asked her a lot of questions like, "Am i doing this right?" "Do I have to look at this column?" "Did you get the same answer as me?" I knew it was annoying for her, but she was too nice to complain and she always helped me.
  
  As for university, its kinda dumb to do that. Those people are simply just lazy, like i was back in grade 10. Dont let them copy your answers. Two semesters ago, this girl and i traded phone numbers (because we had to, uck) and she constantly called me: "oh i didnt go to class yesterday, can I have your notes?" I would always say no or say that I didnt go to class either. Or i would just ignore her call and not phone her back. She eventually stopped calling, which is ultimately what i wanted, lol.

  I usually try it myself first then ask. But then again, even if I found an answer to a question.. I'd still ask to clarify. haha.

  ...never hand out your phone number... I did it and all I get is "Hey sup? This is __name___, how do you do this question?"

  When I do copy and I am not going to lie here, yes I have copied, I find that I learn how to do my work that way. When I copy my friends I read it over tell I am able to understand it and am able to do the work myself. But I never become friends with people just for their answers.

  I used to be an english major. I get nothing but requests to edit essays. Ugh.

  People are always asking me to edit their essays too. Especially around exam time! It's hard to say no, but it's impossible to finish all final assignments, study for exams, and be helping everybody with their essays.
  
  As for people leeching off you in class, I know exactly what you mean. Some people haven't grasped the concept of self learning which is imperative to do well in university. If you don't take the time to practice and apply concepts that they teach you on class, you only become dependent on others. And ultimately, that gets you no where. You have to learn effectively, and the only way for that to happen is not to be dependent on others unless you have a legitimate question.

  I remember in one of my classes, i got an A on a midterm which involved a lot of essay writing. Three guys approached me after class and asked me to write their English class essays for them. They offered to pay me, but i told them no because i was really swamped with all of my work that i had to do. They were really persistent tho....they kept asking me for about a month straight.

  I had a final today, which I was a full hour late for. I walked in, sat down, and just began burning through the test as fast as possible. Turns out that the test was easily doable in the 2 hours I had left. I actually finished with a bit of time to look over my answers, and handed it in with other people still writing. But anyway, I walked in an hour late, started writing, and almost immediately caught some guy peeking at my sheet. I'm an HOUR late, buddy. How smart could I possibly be? :p

  lol funny shit i thought I was the only one who had to deal with punks like that
  
  whats with people being so lazy in university...i mean everyone has to get their hustle on to finish assignments and get through those exams so why do some people expect a free ride. I'm cold with people who ask me for answers to assignments because they don't come to class. I mean, I don't mind hooking you up if you have a legit absence, but if your one of those people who skip lectures and then expect me to help get you through the course, move along son!

  that's called flirting:smile:
  
  this year in english (English 12) I had this girl sitting in front of me who was soooo dumb and lazy I almost lost it.
  
  one time DURING A TEST she finished before I did then turned around and tried to chat with me. I straight up told her to shut the #$%@ up and she said, "Igor, you are so anti-social."
