What should I do?
Ok well one day my friend was sick so she texted me, asking me if I could get her work and notes from the two classes we have together. I did, and since than, she's been sick a lot (but that's due to the weather change turning to winter). The last 3 days that she's missed, she was actually skipping which i don't understand since she's a 91% average student. Photocopying is 10 cents per page and i have spent $2.60 on her so FAR, which is saying a lot.
Again, she's a 91% average student. And i have to photo copy her notes because the one note that I lent her to copy, she lost it! I can't loose notes when there's a quiz or test coming around so I have to photo copy them at school and give it to her sister to take home and give it to her.
Should I continue to give her notes since she is my friend and that's what a friend does, or not?

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
So many idiots in the world, your "friend" and the poster below me are two prime examples.
Please don't do something as stupid as giving bad/false notes. Your "friend" is lazy and a bit of a user, but she hasn't done anything that should affect you beyond minor annoyance.
I would charge her for the notes. If you want to just get your money back, ask her for a 5 or a 10 and tell her that you'll let her know when you run through it with copies.
I did this in college. I take impeccable notes with as much detail as I can scramble to write during a class. Usually I get just about every word out of the teacher's mouth down in shorthand, especially for classes like history, math, and sciences.
I realized that my class mates (especially those who skip) would panic at the end of the semester, so I offered and ended up selling the entire semesters notes for 30 bucks a pop to about 45 different students in my Economics and History classes. I got lots of money, they got notes that let them guarantee at least a C on the final exam.
If it gets to you, tell her that you feel used, and you don't like that you are responsible and she is not, and that she needs to find her way into class or make an arrangement with the teacher if she's going to miss that much. I'm willing to bet more than half of her "sick" days are skippig.
Not your responsibility to carry someone unless you are friends enough that you are willing to. Ive done that, a few friends of mine only passed Pre Cal because of me. But that was my choice, because they simply _couldn't_ handle the material and I could, so I let them copy enough off me to not ruin their GPA's before college acceptances came through.

You have four options here:
1. Tell her that she needs to be more responsible and come to school and not skip (although if you want to stay her friend DO take notes for her on the days that she is REALLY sick.)
2. Tell her that you can photocopy the notes but she needs to pay for them.
3.Don't do anything; keep on giving her notes...
4. Or if you would like to go the extra mile to teach her about responsibility, just make a seperate page of really bad notes and copy them for her and give those to her, so that way if she wants to keep that 91 avg she has to come to school. Just keep a better set of notes for yourself : )
Anyways If she's a good friend I dont think she would stop the friendhsip for any of these reasons, and if she does she is not worth being friends with.
Hope I helped!!
