In the discussion your mentee says, "I wanted to call but our phone was disconnected. If you could loan me $90 I can get it turned back on, and I can pay you back by Friday when my mom gets her paycheck?"
- Don't do it! Once you give or loan money you change the nature of the relationship. Instead talk to your mentee about alternatives. Help her come up with ways to handle the situation if it should arise again.
