She comes in and asks to have a "bite" of my sandwich or for me to split my food with her. I started locking the door, but she knows I am in there and will continue to knock until I open the door. She has friends to eat with, but I think she just does not like the cafeteria food and wants my lunch instead. She does not come in and talk to me either; she just sits on her phone and asks me to walk with her to a restaurant close to the school and buy her food. What do I do with this student? Do I continue to give her my food, or do I put my foot down? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would put your foot down immediately. It is not your responsibility to feed this student and them asking that of you is crossing a boundary. Tell them that they need to eat lunch with the other students and if they do not like the cafeteria food, then they need to ask their parents for a different type of lunch. That's their own responsibility.
