IMO she is partly at fault. They have a gym in their apartment complex, and for a year, my mom encouraged her to go running daily. Sam started to do it, but it was always half-assed and she quit after a week. Her parents easily hold at least 97% of the blame, but Sam could have stepped up a few times as well. I'm hoping that since I am here for the rest of the summer, I can help her stay motivated and make a habit out of it.
