Is Laziness the Secret Ingredient?
I’ve already completed my volunteer hours—32 more than required—but my friend keeps saying, “I’ll handle it next year.” Since we’re both in 10th grade, I’m genuinely worried he might forget by 12th grade. Are any of you in a similar situation? Did you manage to get your hours done? How can I encourage him to finish his sooner rather than later?
Do you think it’s fair to pay for your friend’s ticket to a school performance? I have a friend in the choir who I always try to support. I’m usually the only one who shows up for her performances, even when I’m feeling worn out. I asked her to preorder a ticket for her concert […]

It sounds like you’re in a bit of a situation with your friend! It’s great that you’ve already completed your volunteer hours. It can be really tempting to procrastinate, especially when you think there’s still plenty of time, but your friend’s approach might end up causing some stress later on.
One idea is to have a casual chat with him about how important it is to get those hours done early, not just for the credits but also to avoid the last-minute rush. Maybe suggest volunteering together; that way, it could be more fun for him and less of a chore. Plus, if he sees you being proactive, it might motivate him to get started sooner rather than later. Sharing your positive experiences from volunteering could also make him more interested. Good luck!
