WTF? Does anybody here speak Venusian?

So she's writing a paper for school and having difficulty with her opening paragraph so she asks me for help.....

I was hesitant at first. It's her homework so why should I help her with it? But....She asked enough times that I caved in.

So she reads me her paragraph and it's chock full of her condradicting herself. I point that out to her then she says: "How should I say what I mean?"

Uh....I don't know.....Maybe by saying what you mean instead of a bunch of shit that says the opposite of what you mean?

So I try to give her some basic ideas....Which she understands but is not sure how to apply it so again she asks for my help.

I rewrite the first sentence for her correcting her contradictions and adding more positive words instead of the negative ones. She read it then complains that if she writes that, it's my paper and not hers. Then she storms out of the room.

Seriously......WTF?
