Listen to your heart, there's nothing else you can do...

23/1/09

Dear Janet,

I have heard your problem and I think it's not an easy one, but I do have some solutions for you. As you said, you are a very popular girl, who has a lot of friends, but two of your friends are trying to copy from you. It's making you feel uncomfortable and stressed, and even hurts you and your grades. Now you have a dilemma between(ww. - whether to help....but hurt...") helping them, but hurting yourself, or telling(gr. - tell) them you don't want to let them copy from you and take the risk of being rejected by them.

Look, you mentioned the opportunity of hurting them if you don't help them, and I think this is a wrong thought. If you help them, they will always choose the easy way of cheating and lying. Finally(ww. - Eventually), in their future it will hurt them, so if you let them copy from you, you are not helping them you are hurting them. Moreover, I think you should think about yourself in this whole story, someone who doesn't take(ww.) of himself will not achieve his goals in life.

In addition, you said you had a lot of friends, and as your peer, I know all your friends are important to you, but you have to think:"Is someone who (is) hurting me my friend?". I'm sure your answer is no. So tell them your problem and be sensitive but assertive. If they tell you they don't want to be your friends, let them go and understand they only use(gr. - use the present perfect) you as atool to(ww. - for) their succeed(ww. - success). If they tell you they understand you, I'm happy to tell you: You have two true friends.

Janet, doing the right thing is not always easy, but it's not impossible. I hope you solve the problem and keep the momentum of your success in school.
Ido

It's better, but you still have a few mistakes. Please correct them as well (87)

Daphna.

8 years, 2920 days, 70,080 hours, 252,288,000 seconds that the citizens of Sderot live in fear, live in terror. insufferable situation, Ha? Let me ask you something, did you do anything about that? Are you against it? I believe you are not. I suppose that you are in London, Paris, New York, or any other city in the world, living so far away from our reality and still believing that you know everything, but actually you know nothing. Is Israel destroying Gaza, or are they destroying themselves?Is Israel killing their children or are they killing them by their own hands? I want you to look at something before you are making a decision:

Well now you can see how the "holly" Hamas uses his own children as human shields. And please, let me ask you one more question to conclude: Should we let the terror win??
