"help"ing cara

So Cara has waited to the VERY last minute to do her school project.

she asked me to help her and for my advice.

when i informed her that she left out important information she told me that the readers should be able to know something because of what she said before.

she is assuming the readers can make the connection on their own, but in order to do that they have to have read the book.

when i gave an example of somethign to say she said that she can't use that because her past writing has sucked and i looked at what she had i said "i can tellt".

i'm not going to sugar coat anything, ESPECIALLY after she told me she was ok with half assing the project since she only has a few days.

SHE IS OK WITH DOING MINIMAL WORK.

if she is ok with doing bad quality work, why can't i say that it is bad?
i agreed with her. and it hurt her feelings.

but why sugar coat something? it sucks.
i tried to help her and she tuned me down, and then she insulted her own work and i agreed.

her feelings are hurt.

she takes after racheal in the way that she writes.

leaving gaps and defensive about criticism.
