You should show her Grammarly! it's free (unless you want the extras) and is so good, it has my approval as a dyslexic writer. 
Sorry to sound like an ad but it corrects my bad spelling, way better than Google Docs or my phone's auto correct and it helps with grammar AND gives you a score on how correct your writing is, tells you how easy your writing is to understand by age, how long it will take the average person to read and tells you how unique your vocabulary is if you wanna sound smart. 
I use it for all my writing.
Check it out, here is this post before Grammarly.

And this is after!

Then my favourite part the review

I can see from here my sentance length could do with some work lol
But yeah! I refuse to use the paid version for the extra cuz im stingy and broke so I have no clue how good it is, but if you need something to check your writing the free version has your back!
I promise I'm not sposored it just helps me so much with my writing I think everyone should know about it.
Am I the Asshole for totally refusing to read my friends fanfics?
(👀👀👀 <- to recognize)
So me and my friend are both 15 (she is a few month older, I'm aroace and she isn't sure abt her sexuality yet, if that matters) so I'm not sure if this is just pretty teenager drama but yeah.
So this friend, I'll call her C, was the one who got me into like fandoms and fanfics and stuff and because we are in a lot of the same fandoms I often beta-read her fics before she uploads them to Ao3. And after she uploads them I usually leave a small comment on it to support her.
Now comes the problem: I am personally very uncomfortable with smut fics and I HAVE told her so repeatedly. She writes some occasionally and wants me to proof-read but I tell her I don't feel comfortable doing so. She then goes on about how she will have to find someone else to read it and how that is such a pain for her to do because god knows why.
Recently however, she just sends me the fics she wants me to proofread and doesn't tell me that they are smut. So I'll be halfway through correcting them and suddenly those two characters she likes are going at it. Every single time it happened it was so fucking upsetting and she just asks me to finish correcting it because I already started so she wouldnt have to look for anyone else. So by now I just refuse to proof-read her fics or read them after she publishes it, which is noticeable cause my comments are missing. This in turn makes her upset because I am not supporting her.
She then complained to our two mutual friends abt this and they are divided as well. One of them, who already knew C before we all met each other, was on C's side and claimed that I am not letting her cope. Cope with what? I don't know. The other one supports me, so our entire friend group is a bit strained now.
Sorry if I became a bit rant-y (is that the right way to say that?) or if I made some typos while writing this. I'm kinda upset still.
