My friends and I are doing a project in science, and they won't listen to anything I have to say! Whenever I have a good idea, they won't listen to it, and if they do, someone always says that for some reason, it won't work. I'm not a control freak or anything, i just wish that they would listen to me! 13/f, if that helps at all.

Maybe they actually won't work, you don't know until you try. Explain it to them and maybe they'll see what you mean, they might not be doing it on purpose.
If they still don't listen and don't let you speak and try out your ideas ask if you can do the project on your own. Then you won't have to worry about not being able to use your own ideas. Just make sure you know all the facts about why they're dismissing your ideas before you jump to any conclussions.

IveGotPinkJazzShoes answered Saturday March 19 2005, 1:24 pm: well sometime working imn a group can be hard as everybody hasideas of their own. tell them that you feel ignored. im sure they dont mean to make you feel this way. justremind the that this projects is a group project and that it will be done faster and far quicker ifyou all pull together. you could even sujest doing your project in parts and say that you will do your ideas and add it to theirs to make a whole project. just split up what you have to do your project on up into parts and each take yor fair share. they cant argue with that cos you will be doing your fair share and you each get to do your own ideas!

chicitatoxalot answered Saturday March 19 2005, 1:03 pm: Tell your friends that this is a GROUP project, and they need to pull their heads out of their butts if they want to get it done right. A GROUP project requires ALL MEMBERS OF THE GROUP to do some work, and if they can't do that, then they don't deserve a good grade. I hate to nark (tattle tale) but if it keeps up tell an authority figure. (not like the cops) but like a parent or teacher or someone like that! I know exactly how you feel, and you're probably a genious, your friends just don't realize it yet... with luv,

P.S I hope this helps, and if they still argue with you, give them a peice of my mind okay!? ;) [ chicitatoxalot's advice column | Ask chicitatoxalot A Question ]

I f they still don't listen you need to talk to your teacher and let her know that the group isn't working maybe she could move you into a different group or work something out betweebn you guyz.

Nokomis answered Saturday March 19 2005, 10:40 am: Take charge. Make them listen, don't just sit and wait until sometone has your idea and takes the credit for it! Speak up. Write it to one of them in a note. Get one of your friends to back you up!
You can do this! Let me know how it goes!
