My partners didn't do anything on our project?

We got assigned partners for a biology project, and we had 3 days to do it (over this weekend), and no class time. I was doing other homework on saturday and they never texted me or anything then, so I figured they would be good to work today, sunday. But last night, one of the girls texted me saying she couldn't do it today, and the other texted me this morning saying she had a fitting and couldn't do the project. so this morning, for 5 hours, i did the whole entire project. Now one of them is saying she feels "so bad" that she couldn't help, and I'm afraid I'm gonna crack and enable her by saying they helped with the project. I guess I'm a wuss when it comes to telling the teacher how things really went down with the project. I really don't want to compromise our friendship by making them get zeros on the project, but I don't really want them to get credit either! what should I do? The project is do tomorrow, so I didn't really have a choice.

    That kinda happened to me once. We were dissecting a worm and the other 2 girls were grossed out, so as always, I was the one to cut it open and all that. I didn't mind it too much, but I hate to have my friends always tell me to do the work. And i guess I go with it, cuz if I didn't, they wouldn't be my friends. And sometimes I still hang out with them, but I've gotten better. So I would say squeal (though its not squealing, its the truth.), but if you can't bring yourself to, then don't. I still can't, so don't feel alone. But its not right. If you really deserve the credit and have other friends to hang out with. Then you can make new friends and slowly drift away from your so called friends.

    They're not your friends. And, I would tell the teacher exactly what happend. You can not possibly think it's a good thing for those girls to get credit when they did nothing to help you. This happend to me in college once and I called the other members of the group out on it to the professor. They did not receive credit. It didn't make me more popular in that class, but I didn't care. You should never do more than your share. If I were you I would put only your name on the project and I would tell the teacher exactly how it played out. You need to do what's right here.

    wat sort of a friendship is this??? they know u won't want to compromise the friendship n get them zeroes so they just take advantage of u. its that simple. they r not ur friends. but well, if u wanna keep them friends for whatever reason, then they get credit for something they didnt do.

    by the way, if u let them get credit, u r not a good friend either. 'cos u r letting them cheat. in the long run, its bad for them.

    if u can, let them get zeroes once. they will get the point n next time wont take advantage of u.... maybe respect u more also. if theyleave u, they were never wroth it.

    Source(s): experience. i had a friend like that. i broke up with her.

    this is in comparison to you are able to have performed much less artwork in case you had regularly used she grew to become into on your team. attempt to proceed the challenge as though she wasnt on your team, until she is prepared to take part, wherein case attempt to artwork together with her. this is one difficulty if it grew to become into purely you and her and you are able to finally end up doing each and all the artwork, yet because of the fact which you have your buddy you are able to pull by this. specific this is stressful to enable this individual who you dislike to get credit on your artwork yet not something you will do will substitute that and could purely reason stressful thoughts with all of us. purely attempt to be severe high quality and karma will hook it up later.

    well you have 2 options

    tell the teacher

    or

    spill your drink on them and make it seem accidental but don't help them out just like they didn't help you
