My friend is screwing herself over.
I'll try to keep this short but...
My friend had two of her ideas for a final project shot down and was very upset about it. The teacher said no to the ideas because they were too similar to things we had already done in class. (It's an art class.)
Now my friend is just working on a final project, without approval, and it's exactly like something we have already done! I don't know why she doesn't grasp this. (Worse then that, she is copying almost precisely what I did for that project.)
She is now very defensive about the whole thing, but time is running out and I feel like I just have to tell her that this is a problem. I'm worried our professor will fail her; I know I would if I were the professor.
So how can I explain this without crushing her? I can't believe she doesn't realize it, but I can't figure out why she is acting this way.

Okay heres what you have to do sit her down and have a good conversation with her about this. tell her how you feel about it and that you dont want her to fail so your telling her now and that you dont mean to make it sound so rude if it sounds to you that way. thats all you can do for this situation.

Well, all you have to do is sit her downa nd have a good conversation with her. Explain to her that you are just trying to protect her and make sure she doesnt fail her class. Maybe you can help her come up with some ideas for her to do for her project so its not like hers.
Good Luck =]

jus come right out and tell her how you feel. If she keeps doing what shes doing she'll fail, and neither of you wants that to happen im sure. Maybe she's acting like this because she thinks that the teacher hates her and stuff... Or maybe YOU can suggest some ideas for her to do, that way she doesnt feel like you're telling her what NOT to do.
Another thing, let her know that by using somehting you already did... could make him think she cheated and get you guys BOTH in a lot of trouble, even if it's onyl similar

Hi
Life is full of lessons...some good and easy, some bad and hard.
To me, I think your friend is aware that the project is one that the professor will not like. Almost like she's doing it out of spite, because he shot her down.
I think it's something that you need to let her learn for herself. By all means, tell her what you're thinking, and express your concern, but in the end, it's up to her.
Everybody could use a friend like you :)
