Thank you everyone!!

just tell her straight up, that this time you need her help. If you don't say it to her face then she'll never know. Just tell her how you feel, hopefully she'll understand and if not...tell you teacher jk...just ask her.

[supa'Wanki]

Tell your teacher you want a new partner, or tell your friend that if she's not going to do any work, she's not getting any credit for it. Be straightforward about it. Business is business and friendship shouldn't get involved when it comes to grades or money.

I don't know what do.
She's my friend and I don't want to say thing bad about/to her.

Telling her that she's not doing work, that's not being mean, that helping her get her lazy ass off and do some work
And it might sound a little bit mean, but you can tell the teacher on her for a wake up call. Or threaten to tell the teacher on her.

Well, at least you're stuck with people you actually get along with, rather than someone who is quite........ snobby

[jaykidding]

Tell her you're serious about the project and you really want to get a good grade on it so she better do her part. That's what I would do anyways. Or just be straightforward about it and ask "Soooo, which part should I do and which part should you do?" casually. That way you make sure the jobs are even and fair. Oh wait, that's what you did in Sophomore year, huh? Then set study dates where both of you can work on the project together. without any distractions. Maybe a public library?

This happened to me before, I know it was wrong for me to stay up all night just to do her part and glue everything on a history project when it was her job.. but i couldn't trust her since she did nothing the night before. I understand where you are coming from. it was horrible for me, I stayed up late to work on my project just for my grade, and ended up getting myself a A+ but as well as her, when I did everything. Don't do what I did and stay up doing her part, thats wrong..

Tell her straight up, don't be afraid just because she's your friend or if they're popular or whatever (thats what my teacher told us and i absolutely agree), telling her won't hurt her. she needs a wake up call. it's not right to put all the weight on you and just threaten her about the teacher, if that doesn't get her to work, maybe you should consult with the teacher for real. Don't let her take advantage of you. That's what I hate about group projects where people take advantage and force it all on one person. I wish teachers would give us an indiviual grade, then she'd start working.

tell her to move her BUTT.
lol
that's what i do.

she seems to be using the strategy my friend uses.

ok so the thing she's doing is like:

person #1 and person #2 with project
person #1 doesn't do anything.
person #2 starts working, and finds out #1 isn't working and starts to get mad, lol.
person #1 still does nothing.
person #2 is STUCK. because if he/she also does nothing, they'll both fail, and person #1 KNOWS that person #2 will never let that happen.
person #2 ends up doing all the work, stays up hecka late and gets eye bags....

BUT

in the long run,
if #1 keeps acting like that,
person #2 will get the last laugh LOL cuz he/she is the one that actually learned something and got something out of it.
person #1 will never know what'll hit them when they're in university/college/apprenticeship and all alone. XD

it's actually RLY RLY infuriating
not much to do except to straight up tell her in her face that she needs to pull her own weight.
if you have a choice, don't choose her next time

[swtbabiiee]

I know how you feel, sucks arse. But when my friend actually does do her part of the work, it's half-assed and leaves me fixing it for the group's sake

[_eccentric]

I think you should sit her down & just tell her everything - well in a nice tone & if she doesn't do the project just do your part (split it into two parts) & let the teacher know what you did & what happened & if her part is crappy let the teacher know. Don't fix the group's mistakes (I know I used to do that) just take charge. I had to yell at my friend because he wasn't doing his part & yet he took all the credit for everything, but then I thought if you're going to take all the credit I'll make sure you do a lot of the work you are taking credit for. Be bossy, cause this is your grade, don't forget that. I know she's your friend but friends need to be pushed in the right direction too - I mean just because she's your friend she shouldn't be able to not do anything!

[baby-swts]

WOWWW i think your my "friend"
and i think im your friend lol
cause this is how it exactly is right now in my life
i do literally nothing and my friend does most of the work o___o

[xxxxxxx]

I understand where you're coming from since you don't want to hurt her feelings or anything.
Whenever I get stuck with this situation, or if I'm in a group of worthless kids, I do it all by myself It's hard but I know I would get a good grade than no grade at all.
You could always ask your teacher. I'm pretty sure he/she is understanding. The best solution is just to tell her. If she doesn't get her act up, tell the teacher ,etc.

[Swtess]

Make a plan on what should be done each day or week and split the work, by the final few days or week that she doesn't have anything to show, make it clear to her that either she sticks to the plan and get her part done or you're going to the teacher and saying that you're each going your own way. Being a good friend is one thing, bringing down a friend's mark is another. Thats why I rather be the bossy one in the group and get things done.

[[MeiMei ♡]]

i think you should just tell her. like i was always stuck in this situation, but now in our school we hardly do group work so it's all good. or you could always just take control of the group and NAME what you did. so like you guys have your own part of the project and if they don't do it then tough luck, they don't get the mark.
