The Slacker Showdown: To Snitch or Not to Snitch?
So here’s the tea: our girl is in a pickle with this group project. She’s been busting her butt trying to get everything done, but one group member seems to be more interested in living it up at the clubs than hitting the books. Despite multiple attempts to get this slacker back on track, she’s just not having it. Now, with the deadline looming and the professor offering a lifeline, our girl has a decision to make. Does she spill the beans and potentially cause her classmate to fail, or does she keep quiet and risk her own grade? The internet has some thoughts, and they’re not holding back! ️ Let’s dive into the juiciest responses and see what the verdict is!
