i agree, some people should find answers themselves. However, some people actually do need help, so its best to help once in a while.
if you help everytime, then everyone will just use you. the best option is to help them once in a while. just leave them in the dark for a bit, and then start over from helping someone here and there. make sure they actually pay attention, use the two strike rule: i'll help you the first time, show you the second time, but on the third time your on your own.
and if they still don't get it, then make them get it or show them the book or instructions for it. other than that, don't go to help everytime someone says "I can't fix this, can you help me?"
