Annoying Classmates: How to deal with them

“Hey, stop it”
“Uhmm stop what? I am not doing anything”
“Yes, you are. Your poking me.”
“Your crazy.”
-poking more-
       This is what happens about every single day in the life of an average student. We are constantly being annoyed with multiple annoying habits that get on our nerves by; talking loudly in class, constantly talking about random things, and sudden outbursts that just makes us go. You know those friends that are fun to be around but can “tick you off” with their annoying habits. That friend who knows how to “push those buttons” when really they are making you irritated to the point that you go crazy. They sit next to you and start poking you out of nowhere. Well, here are some ways the students of ALC deal with bothersome classmates.
         Wendy Diaz, a junior says, “You tell them straight up that they are annoying. It might help them to stop being annoying.” Teens are self-conscious individuals who care about what their peers think, so notifying them that they are annoying might be an effective way of dealing with their behavior. They might either stop completely or be more aware of their actions so that the pestering behavior will be less annoying.
         Another piece of advice that Jose Torres, a senior brought up is to ignore the annoying classmate, hoping that the “pesky” friend will take a hint and stop or go away. He doesn’t like how “redundant” some class clowns are with a joke. And probably rolls his eyes or puts a face of, “I don’t care anymore.” Torres is not the only one who ignores these chatter boxes. Seniors like Vanessa and Jennifer also recommend that you ignore annoying students.
         However, I don’t think that people can really stop others from being annoying. And I also don’t believe that students always know when they are being annoying either. If I were to ignore them just because they were annoying–others might not talk to them. Or if I told them “Hey you are so annoying go away” I might be hurting their feelings. In which case I would feel like a real jerk. So, I prefer to put up with my friends behaviors and laugh casually.
          In the end, there is no right or wrong way of dealing with annoying people. We couldn’t stop the “plague” and for sure we can’t stop that “nosey classmate” from knowing about our life. We can either tell them “You’re annoying me,stop” or simply ignore their silly yet annoying behavior. But don’t forget to be considerate of their feelings.
