Some groups just don’t work well together.

This woman was part of a group project for her chemistry class, but her groupmates kept ignoring her messages to start working on the project.

So, she did it all herself. Was that the wrong thing to do?

Read the story below for all the details.

AITA for submitting a group project all by myself and not including my groupmates, even though they didn’t help at all?

This happened a few weeks ago.

I’m still really shaken about it.

We have a Chemistry group activity.

Our teacher gave us a task to complete as a group.

This woman sent a message to her groupmates.

I waited for three whole weeks for my groupmates to do anything.

I even sent a message in our group chat trying to get things going, but no one replied or took initiative.

One of my groupmates, Sanya, even lost the original worksheet. It had some of our answers in it.

So, she did it all by herself.

At that point, I was tired of waiting.

I asked for a blank worksheet from another section.

I answered the whole thing by myself.

I submitted it to our teacher because I didn’t want us to get a zero.

Her groupmates asked her about the project after she’d already submitted it.

I honestly felt like I had no choice.

They only started asking me about the paper during exam week.

At that point, I had already submitted it.

Now, here’s where things went off the rails.

The online attack began.

A bunch of them started attacking me online.

Even people who weren’t in my group.

They were calling me names and accusing me of stealing credit.

They were making passive-aggressive posts.

They posted mean things about her.

Here are just some of the things they said.

“Shout out to you, credit-grabber.”

“Only takes accountability when it benefits her.”

“Screw you.”

“Ain’t my problem anymore.”

“What a shame, you didn’t get me to fail.”

She was embarrassed.

I felt so embarrassed and hurt.

I didn’t expect to be publicly shamed just for doing the work myself.

That was after they ignored it for weeks, and to be honest, they’ve done the same thing before.

They worked on group stuff alone and gatekeep quizzes, but no one calls them out for it.

She doesn’t know if she did the right thing.

So now, I’m asking.

AITA for not including my group mates in the final submission?

They didn’t even try to help.

She didn’t want to get a zero, so she really didn’t have any other options.

Let’s see what others have to say about this on Reddit.

Report it to your teacher, says this person.

This user gives their honest opinion.

Here’s a personal thought from this person.

This person suggests a good response to the groupmates.

And finally, here’s a very good point from this user.

If you want something to be done right, do it yourself.
