Am I taking this too seriously? (warning: I rant, sorry ;_;)

Alright so, long story short; I'm turning 17 and all my art অ্যানিমেশন teacher (at the tech institute I go to before my highschool) say I should start putting some serious work into a portfolio. These past 2 months have been dedicated for visual concept ideas for that ব্যক্ত portfolio. I've been working with designs for a very long time now and proud of the results coming in :)

But here's the problem: I started posting my designs on my ফেসবুক for my বন্ধু to give feedback, and so far it went great... but then I got a message from a fellow artist-friend. She liked my idea so much, she asked if she could 'go for it' on her own design.
This made me happy and upset -happy 'cause I'm glad my work is inspiring, but upset for I became paranoid she'd tried to take the ideas away from me, অথবা even প্রদর্শনী others that her concepts are better, অথবা something...

So the প্রশ্ন is, should I let her? Would আপনি let her, in this situation? This would've have been fine if it was just doodled ideas, অথবা hobby of mine; but this is serious work I plan to প্রদর্শনী companies for hire, etc. Maybe I'm just paranoid out of my mind? :c

I'm grateful she at least asked first... and I don't want to come off as rude দ্বারা saying no... but I take my work so seriously... and this design/story project was really special to me (sure, it's not COMPLETELY original, but I put good effort to personalities and such...)

Any উত্তর would be great. Super sorry for ranting. Hope everyone's weekend ended well, and hope those who read/answered have a WONDERFUL দিন :D

In this instance i think আপনি should allow her but ensure she understands to credit আপনি for any work she may 'copy'. I think she's only looking for inspiration which is great, it shows your art reaches to people, but আপনি must also be very careful. Copyright and তারিখ each and every piece আপনি make and put warnings on your artwork that copying/stealing will not be tolerated.

I understand আপনি have worked very hard on this and আপনি don't want to lose everything for one প্রদর্শনী of kindness so i would keep an eye on what she does if possible. Ask her to প্রদর্শনী আপনি the finished work. Take an interest in what she does, as she has taken an interest in yours. Partly to keep an eye on what she's doing to ensure she isn't stealing, but also she may become inspiration to আপনি too. আপনি may even be able to work on an art project together one day.
Mention to your teacher you've been inspiration to this girl and ask his/her উপদেশ on what to do. He/she may have আরো experience in dealing with copyright etc and may be able to guide আপনি on the steps to doing it properly.

Good luck :)

Thanks so much ;3; you're answer helped me so much! I let her try it out. I don't have much to worry about anymore because I began dating and publishing my designs a lot quicker to prove that it's my concept (before she even published her works) like I wanted, aha. Just like আপনি suggested, I came kindly and felt interested in how she would result her desings. She gladly showed me today and it's নিরাপদ to say that I don't see a threat coming out of her. We're friends, I should have never doubted the trust. So thanks again -your words guided me back to common sense! :D

BabyBlud gives a fantastic answer; I just wanted to add that my daughter is facing a similar issue regarding her photography. As this is not merely a hobby, I think it is important that আপনি safeguard your work, and it looks like you've taken steps to do so. Good luck to আপনি and all your future work.
