My partners are jerks?
At school we r doing projects. I was partnered with 2 jerks. They want me to do this ridiculous stuff, and my teacher is no help. We will be working for 3 more weeks on this. How can I get through this and still get a good grade? :(

I'll be happy to give you some good ideas, but please tell me about the project and why they are jerks. What do they want you to do?

How is your teacher no help? Did you explain what exactly they are doing, or are you complaining because you wanted to be partners with friends?

Have you told your parents about this? If it's as bad as you say then tell your mom and dad and have them talk to the teacher about this.

I have but they don't understand how bad it is. Probably what I would have said to someone so thanks for the answer! I would love to hear more ideas though

Just say no to your fellow group members. If you give in, you become a doormat for the future. You are an equal member, so keep your power and don't give it away so they will like you or whyever you are giving it away. Of course, I would expect you to refuse politely and respectfully and offer other options.
Was your group given a certain play to act out?

I wish I had more ideas, the only thing I can think of, if you're stuck in this group, is to do your part of the work, and let them fail on their own if that's what they intend to do. Make sure the teacher knows that this group is difficult to work with (which you've already done) excel with your part in this group, and let the chips fall where they may.
Is there a group leader? If so, who? Also, what grade is this?

You have to perform a play for class... I understand that. Where does the beat someone up part come in? Or the flirt with someone? Is that part of the play?

Speak to your teacher. Ask for a time to speak without your group around. Explain the situation. I think the problem is that they started working on the project without you because you were absent. If flirting in a play makes you uncomfortable, let your teacher know. If that doesn't work, have your parents get involved.

Well, all that drama for nothing. Glad it's okay now, when it was so detrimental only yesterday. Sigh.
Good luck.

No need to be sorry. I have a teenager, so I get it. But really, you were asking us to come up with a solution. We gave you the only possible solutions, and none were good enough. Suddenly the issue is resolved.
That's teen life for you. Big drama one minute, fine the next. I get it. I have a teen, and I was once a teen. But this is a lesson for you. There's always a solution, and no issue that you think is so big, is really as big as you think it is. :)
