you need to choose better your... friends...
these people you mentioned are definely NOT friends...

Mm, I remember writing something a bit similar to this a loooong time ago (the difference being my situation was twice as embarrassing, it was facebook, and revolved only around one friend).

Same as the others said above, I don't think they might be your "friends" if they're treating you like this.
BUT! Is this the first time they've done this, or have there been situations like this in the past? I'm sure that if you try to explain the situation to your mom, she'll understand. If push comes to shove, then try and have your mom talk to their parents or the teacher.
But you should still try talking to your friends first and find out why exactly they needed to use your computer while you were busy. Tell them how serious you are about your grades and you have no time for dawdling and why they can't wait until you're finished to use your cpu (or why they can't use their own). Nothing is resolved with shouting, so try to have patience and stay calm.

Best of luck to you, Ivy!

if i were you i'd forbird those people to get near you. what they did is just stupid. :honte:
and still your mother blindly defends them!?

How long have you known them?

First of all, what kind of mom lets your friends just storm in when you're doing one or, even worse, TWO projects FOR SCHOOL? Not to offend her but wasn't that a bad choice of hers to let them go? One thing is to let them in and explain you're working and that, if it's important, she would go call you. The other thing is like (extreme example) "Oh she's studying for her final exam that may cost her her future but HEY go go! Knock yourself up! Yey rainbows!"
On this part, you should probably talk to you mom and sort things out so that she knows when you're working and when is a good or a bad time to have guests that.. that noisy....

Secondly, as everyone has said.. You would like to review your list of friends then... There's something called friends and something called acquaintances or collegues. Just because you know them and such, they dont have to slap a "FRIEND" tag on their foreheads and they must know their limits.
Talk to them too and next time they do that, save the work ASAP and shut the computer before they have time or just go and kick them with the pillows and say you'll call Slender or The Batter. =w=



The Batteeeeeerrrr~


I hope you manage to finish your works and that you get a good grade! Remember presentation is always good, use some colors but not flashy and make someone read it to find errors (we always skip and autocorrect mught too), review ponctuation, explanations, images, etc. Sometimes it's not about upgrading the content of the work but how you present it. Good luck sweety!

They are obviously not good friends, just tell them that if they are not going to understand and apologize, you won't be their friend and that you don't want them in your house again. And make sure to tell your mom not to let them in...That's a bit harsh, I know...But they don't sound like good people at all.
Anyone has better suggestions?

o_O
what will you do now?
:hypn:

Yes, because they did it again. :( Thanks everyone, I will be following your advice! :D

P.S: I put a little kids duckie video on my project! (We had to do online posters using Glogster)
