Long time lurker on this subreddit. I'm in 9th grade. Basically what happened was that there was a huge project which was displayed at my school's open day and was also counted towards our grade.


So two weeks before the project, I messaged the 8 other members and said something like "Hey, we should get started on this." No one answered. Okay, maybe they were busy. Fast forward to a week and a half later, I started getting worried and messaged them to start the project. I also opened a Google Doc and shared it with everyone. I wasn't the group leader but I asked them to start doing stuff and no one was responding. Over the course of the next two days, I saw that all of them read the messages but no one was responding and only one person actually opened the Google Doc (but didn't do anything).


The deadline was on Monday, and by Sunday I had finished around 2/3rds of the project. Then at 9:00 p.m. that night, several of my groupmates messaged me and asked "if there was anything I could do to help". I was more relieved than pissed off as I genuinely needed help. They sent me a few pictures and typed a few words. Out of the 16 pages of the project, I did 14; and two of my classmates didn't do ANYTHING, though one of them apologized the next day, which I brushed off.
Some of my groupmates also apologized through the chat though some didn't.

Although I was happy that we managed to finish the project and got a good grade, I was also pretty mad that I was the one who did the whole thing and all of the others got the grade too. I'm thinking about telling my teacher what happened, but I also feel like I'd be an asshole if I do so because my groupmates apologized genuinely for not helping (because there was actually a lot of homework that weekend but I had to do it too) So reddit, WIBTA? If I am the asshole, what should I do instead?


Sorry for bad formatting (I'm on mobile) and bad English (I'm ESL).
