Okay, at school we had this group work thingie about political party stuff, I was sick the day we got the assignment and then I was told to work with this girl in class who worked alone, she told me to find out stuff for one part of the work and that we'd go through it together on Monday (It was the end of the week and we only had about one hour left of the day) but then she was sick and I was told by our teacher that I'd have to do it alone since the other girl wasn't there.
I felt REALLY stressed since I had to finish it all by myself in three days and was really afraid I wouldn't finish on time, but on Tuesday my friend wrote a part of the assignment for me since she was done with her own work which I felt really grateful for. (And another person in class joined my group, I told her what was left to do but she started on something that would have qualified as extra work if we got done early and had time over so she really wasn't any help for what was needed for the project and I really felt too stressed to argue and figured it'd be done faster that I simply do the rest without any fight that would waste time
)
Anyhow, I managed to finish by Wednesday, about an hour before the time limit but then so many other groups still had a lot of work left, so we got another two days (the rest of the week were holidays so we were off)
Then on Monday I worked some more on the group project, really satisfied with what I had done during a lot of stress. (Then we had a special schedule yesterday)
Then today came, and the girl who had been sick came back and read through the finished project (we only got half an hour to look through our projects today) and she immediately complained that the few sentences she had written wasn't in there, but it was local stuff about a town I know NOTHING about so I started from scratch (and I didn't get those sentences until the end of Tuesday the week before through the friend who helped me, it didn't include a source for the information she used either)
I explained carefully to her why I hadn't used the little she had written, and when she finished reading she looked at the political party's site and pointed out that my work was incomplete "This isn't in it, and this isn't in it"
That felt like a freaking slap in the face after the stress I had gone through pretty much by myself, and I told the friend who had helped me about it, saying that I felt it was disrespectful and actually hurt me since I really the best I could during those days.
Then after we quit the teacher asked me to stay behind since he wanted to talk with me, I was a bit confused since I had no idea what it could be about, but apparently the girl had overheard me talking to my friend and reported me for bullying. Saying that I had told my friend that she had done nothing for the project and talking crap about her, then she naturally added that I hadn't used what she had written but not told him the reason.
When the teacher told me this, something inside me just broke and I started crying.
I had stressed my ass off to finish the project on time, got a comment that my work wasn't good enough, AND I got accused of bullying. It just became too much. I did the best I could but that apparently that wasn't good enough, then I can't even tell my friend about it without being accused of bullying
When I told the teacher my version of it, he got rather angry and promised to talk to her tomorrow. Normally I would never trust a teacher to solve a situation like this because it usually ends up worse because some people doesn't respect the teacher, but everyone in class really respects our teacher and doesn't want to make him angry. He's a really unique combination of fun and respectful.
