I seem to be the only one on the "team" who does any work

Hey! This isn't a relationship question, but I need advice and I didn't know where else to go. Sorry!

I’m in college at the moment, and basically the person that lives with me does the same course, and last semester I ended up giving him literally all of my answers for the exams, all that he had to do was memorize them and then add to it, so basically, I spent hours doing the work, and he got a better grade than me, because all he had to do was ADD more information than me. He did this for ever single exam, so did a lot of my friends, I had to help them, then they got better grades than me.

So we’re in the 3rd month of this semester, and I’m feeling sort of confident, so the guy I live with asked for help with an essay and I realized that he literally has no information/notes at all for any subject, so when it comes to exams the exact same thing is going to happen, only worse!

Like I spend so much time getting my answers/notes perfect, and he’s just going to take them and pass with a higher grade than me.

I just feel so jealous, like I’m doing all the work and no one helps me, but if I say no everyone just complains and says it’s a team effort, but I’m not getting anything out of this apart from doubting myself!!

It’s making me a jealous person and I’m really doubting my work, because no matter how much work I put into something, my mates take it and make it better.

raiders agony auntIf you don't want to say NO than just say you don't have it that you havent started the studying so don't have the answers and don't give them the answer don't supply them with a passing grade that is being dishonest at both ends.

Denise32 agony auntTYou need to just refuse to supply these people with exam answers.

If they complain - well, LET them. Tell them you are "firing" them as of right now - and maybe you should think about getting a different roommate from the one you now have!

Honeypie agony auntI would just STOP letting others ride your coat-tails. YOU are not responsible for them passing or failing THEY are. The only thing YOU are responsible for is YOUR work and YOUR grades.

These people are USING you, that is not friendship.
