Recall the recent massacre at VT? If you realise that your friend is having problems, talk to him. Don't leave friends to fend for themselves when they have problems likely linked to mental health. I am not saying he will start a trigger happy spree in schoo as possibilities are very very low with our strict gun laws. But he could be making a lot of inconvenience to other people as well in time to come. Have a talk, meet him outside for a meal or invite him to group outings and never leave him alone. That was how I helped out colleagues with 'attitude problems' too.Originally posted by elizabeth:im new to this forum. know tis forum thru my sister. but there is some problem im facing.
currently, im studying in poly. there is lots of project going on now. but there is just one of the members keep on don co-operate with us. he always say why so hurry? but i really cannot stand his attitude. he is also very irresponsible in some areas. i think he is insane too! he will talk to himself and sometimes laugh to himself. mi and him know each other when we were primary sch. so we are both quite close. so i donno how to confront him.
He may have slight autism. But if he can function and learn stuff normally like other students, you need not be afraid.Originally posted by elizabeth:im new to this forum. know tis forum thru my sister. but there is some problem im facing.

Are you exaggerating on the "insane" part? Could it just be a case of him telling a joke which no one appreciates?Originally posted by elizabeth:im new to this forum. know tis forum thru my sister. but there is some problem im facing.

What did the rest of your project team members have to say about this guy? Can all of you continue with the project if this guy is not being co-operative? You gotto focus on your project and if this guy refuses to contribute to the project, I reckon ALL the rest of your team members and yourself have to let the teacher know.Originally posted by elizabeth:im new to this forum. know tis forum thru my sister. but there is some problem im facing.
