Question Posted Thursday September 4 2008, 6:00 pm
At my school, I tried to start a Writing club, but this other girl had the same idea as me. Because of that, and the fact that we can't create the same club twice, we had to partner.
To put it simply (and harshly, which I apologize about) she is very strange. "She" also has excessive body hair, meaning, a beard, and a mustache. And smells.
People are actually interested in our club, but they are STAYING AWAY because of her.
She is my co-president. If I forced her to step down, then we'd probably have about 50 people coming. Right now, we only have 10, and I think we will loose them.
So what do I do? Either way, if it doesn't improve, I'm going to call it quits.
But should I, in a last ditch effort, tell her straight up that she is DISCOURAGING people from coming to the club? Try and force her out?
Idk. Everyone I've talked to refuses to come to the club because of her. But it's a bit cut throat to throw her out.
If she is really bad why would the 10 leave if
she stepped down?
If this is just a case of the 50 not joining because they don't like your co-president then
its their loss. Creative people can oft time be strange, or seem strange to others.
People who really want to write and belong to a
club of writers will do so no matter who is in
charge.

Quit, come up with an acceptable varriation on the writing club, get enough people behind you an submit your idea to the pricipal.
Talk to her honestly about the fact that you two seem to be interested in starting very different 'kinds' of clubs. Ask her if she interested in splitting the budget and starting two teams or sections, with her leading one however she'd like and you leading the other, and everyone getting togeather once or twice a semester to share what they've been working on.
