B. Saying something of no worth, but think they are

<p>There's nothing wrong with that. Hopefully the teacher corrects them and they learn from it. There's also always a chance they'll unknowingly say something really hilarious that you'll remember for a long time.</p>
<p>I agree with ChoklitRain. It really, really annoys me when "that kid" talks just to talk. If someone has something truly insightful to say I'm all for it, but the majority of the time the person who dominates the discussion just likes to hear himself blab about nothing. I have one kid in particular in mind at my school who talks even when he has nothing to say. Only about half of what he says has actual worth.</p>
<p>hahaha, one time this girl in my english class was just talking forever about nothing. i was super tired and couldnt control whether i was thinking or saying something out loud, so i just said rather loudly "what are you even saying? that doesnt make sense" after one of her points, and everyone in the class just turned to me.</p>
<p>Yup. I hate it when that "Me" monster talks over the other classmates who are trying to get into the discussion to get some discussion points.</p>
<p>A lot of the time, people just yell out "SHUT UP" and she goes back into her dungeon of "me"-ness.</p>
<p>If you disagree with a classmate's point, or think his or her analysis oversimplistic, should you say anything?</p>
<p>Vicky_Sky, I know what you mean.</p>
<p>There was this Indian kid in all my classes (yes, every single one of them) who would monopolize all of the literary discussions AND blurt out answers during math class. I felt bad for him because he seemed pretty nice (just a bit awkward), and I never talked badly about him. Well, that was before I found out that he was saying all sorts of ridiculous things about me behind my back. That's last time I waste my pity on someone who does not deserve it, lol.</p>
<p>I hate it when the 'know-it-all's start "intellectual" conversations about for example modern world issues with the teachers and they leave everyone else out of it!
If they accepted some more people in their conversations then I'd be fine with it, but they reserve the conversation all for themselves</p>
<p>Ah! this happened to me. We were reading one of my favorite books today and I had waited to make a point I had noticed...so this girl, who ALWAYS dominates and NEVER reads the actual book, goes into this long diatribe against my 1 minute point. Turns out, she messed up the names of the characters and hadn't read past, legit, the 5th page. She even argued with my teacher today about her 'understanding' of the novel. Please. Read a chapter before you talk. </p>
<p>Instead of monopolizing (answer every question), I basically wait until it gets awkward/over everyone's head, and then answer. I don't feel a need to answer every q</p>
