I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but it pertains to education, so i though maybe it would be ok.
So I have a situation my sister, E, has a 15 journal entry project and a 3 page research paper due...today..more specifically at 12 and at 1. She wans me to do the research paper for her. She making all sorts of promises, like I'll never ask you for anything, or I'll do the dishes for the rest of the month. She has a history of asking me to do things for her, I've only done it once though and it was less than a page, and of course I usually say no and she goes on about what a bad sister I'm being and that when I ever need something she will remember and remind me of this. My other sister who I am closer to ,M, has never asked me to do things for her, neither would I have if she ever had. Of course E is positive that I had written a paper for M last semester even though I'm pretty sure I never have. What can I do to get it into Es head that your work is your work and if you didn't do it then you didn't do it, but don't ask me to do it when you're in a bind. She seems to think it's perfectly ok and that "everyone does it". *rollseyes*

Any advice?
If you don't want to do it, then don't. I don't know what else to tell you without getting all Dr. Phil on you.

Err....say no?
Maybe, you'll ask you to go to work for you in a few years.
Tell your parents. Someone in charge needs to be aware that there's a serious academic trainwreck on the horizon here. What is she going to do when she gets to college (I'm assuming this isn't college because she could get kicked out and waste tens of thousands of dollars for having someone else do her work)? Or in the workplace?
We, each of us, teach others how to treat us -- by the way we let them treat us...
After the second time, arguing is pointless: the listener has already understood completely. Just say "no".
