That is it! That is how it starts! Enmity!!!
The fact that a friend teaches or tells you something and you do not get it right does not mean s/he is not trustworthy. A borrowed idea cannot be equalised with a spontaneous one. Your friend uses a particular approach to teach a course does not make the approach the "alpha and omega" of the course. It does not end there. There are different perspectives to things other than the one your friend uses. Here is where you need to employ your initiative! The fact that you plagiarise another person's work does not make you the owner of the work. If your friend or colleague teaches you a course and in the long run you do not meet up with expectations does not make s/he a bad friend. Just know you are the architect of your life plan. Is there anyone God forgot to give brain? This suffice to say your friend has got the same brain as you. He/she utilises his/her brain and that is why s/he can share his/her knowledge with you. The question is who are you reserving yours for?
This and some other ones are the common errors we all make as students when we see people who attend the same tutorials and group discussions with us score higher marks, we begin to wonder how they do it or perhaps they are hiding some cogent fact from us hence we tend to make them our enemies. The actual point is that no fact is hidden anywhere. They just take their time to trace success to its house and address it where it concerns them using all their potentials.
On this note, it is never too late. You too can make a U-turn and retrace your step.
