I told a friend I could help her, but now I can't?

Question:

I know this chick who is really busy these days; she works full time, plays sports and is taking several online college courses. Anyway, last week sometime I told her that I am good at science and that I can help her with her homework. She said she was going to get with me this weekend, but didn't call me until Sunday night..at that time I didn't even feel like answering the phone. I have her assighnment, which is to draw 3 population pyramids, one for Ethiopia, Indonesia and one for the UK...then it says write a short, 3 pg. essay explaining the pyramids and comparing and contrasting the three. I don't know how I volunteered for this, but it kind of became a deal where I was just going to do the whole thing for her. So it is due in a few days, and I told her I would give it to her tonight..but I am totaly stuck and can't seem to think of a damn thing to write. I am good at science, but this feels more like history to me..what should I say to her? What should I do?

Answer:
Tell her the truth, the project is started but she needs to complete the history part. ( & tell her now)
Totally doing someone else's homework means they learn NOTHING, except other people are suckers . . . She can scale back on some of her activities to put some effort into HER homework, otherwise she should quit college if she is only going to get grades by cheating her way through.

tell her that something came up or even buy her something and then tell her if it is really important

LOOK IT UP ON THE INTERNET IT WILL GIVE U THE ANSWERS TRUST ME I KNOW I HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE IM AN EXPERT

BS it, wright down anything that might sound intelligent and if you get a bad grade on it im sure it would be better than saying u didnt feel like doing it or something.

Whatever you tell her unless the assignment is complete it's not going to be pretty. I would tell her, like TODAY that this is really "out of your area" and she's going to have to complete it. Is there ANY part of it you can do? Then let her know that, too. I know she's got a lot on her plate but, it's HER plate. She piled everything on. Maybe you could talk to her about letting some things go so she can fit in everything in that needs attention. Also you can ask if she has anything else you can help with that's less intense. Good luck! Like I said, I don't think any way you handle it will have an immediate, good outcome.
