# Peer Help

Peer help is a wonderful resource; other's input is extremely valuable in every situation. However, this form of support can be abused. Many people misuse peer help, trying to exploit others into doing their work, or are disrespectful.

{% hint style="success" %}
Before you ask others for help, you should read through your code and error messages, and try debugging. This will almost certainly yield results and help you understand your error.

See the [Debugging page](/syntask/issues/debugging.md) and [Errors page](/syntask/issues/errors.md) to learn how to solve issues.
{% endhint %}

This section will go over:

* Steps you must take yourself before asking others for help
* How to be polite and informative, contributing to a healthy community for all
* The differences between spoon-feeding and true help

{% hint style="info" %}
Peer help exists to help you *learn* how to fix an issue. That way, you leave not only with functional code, but with more knowledge and experience. Hopefully this allows you to avoid making similar mistakes or empowers you to solve them independently.
