I sounded stupid in school?

[Madoka]

I was in a group with 3 other girls and 1 guy and we had to answer questions in a paper. This "knowitall" girl agreed with me on one of the questions.

When the teacher called on us during class discussion to explain our answers, I volunteered because none of the other girls in my group knew the answer. But I must've sounded really stupid because the "knowitall" girl started looking at the other girl in our group and started laughing.

Then when another group answered the same question and got it right, the guy in my group was like "yeaah". (as in you go girl). (This made me feel even more humiliated)

Then the miss "knowitall" girl refuses to acknowledge that she ever agreed with me on the answer when she clearly had the same idea. She like tells the guy , "I had down a different answer".

I feel dissed and kind of pissed off. Please help me get over this. Sorry, I know this is really random.

Some people were kind of surprised since I'm supposed to be shy.

i don't think that you sounded stupid. you are brave person. you didn't back up becuse you felt that you may sound stupid. no you moved forward and said what you had in mind.

i was like you i thought that i always sounded stupid but there was a a boy who told me something i going to tell you the exact same words

" you're not wrong. but there is something that you are missing. stand up straight. don't look down... don't cast your eyes down. don't run away. if you can do these things, then the world will come to you"

All I can say is to try to not let them get to you. Getting one wrong answer isn't the end of the world and I'm sure that you know that anyway. Nobody's going to think that you're stupid because we all do it.

And as for the 'know-it-all' girl, she sounds like a stuck-up attention-whore to me, and in which case she's really not worth worrying about. I used to just ignore people when they're like that, I know it's a cliché but at the end of the day you're the one who doesn't waste any time getting upset over her.

Dunno if that was helpful or not. <_< Like I said, just try and let it slide, I'm sure everyone will have forgotten about it by now anyway.

Feel proud that you had the bravery to do such a thing, you took a shot at it and were wrong, but you can at least hold your head up high for the simple fact:

You didnt cower and prove yourself to be totally gutless like the "knowitall" who just made herself look a bigger fool in front of the group you were in.

They will have heard her agree, and they will have seen her back down and thought to themselves "geeze what a douchebag"

So in the end even though you got it wrong and felt a little embarassed you'll be suprised at the support your class mates will give you since the "knowitall" was being such an asshat for all to see!

to add kids can be cruel, I can be crueler

If you really wanna get your own back on this "knowitall" if you think she had it planned out from the beginning.....get her to believe that one of the hunks of the school really likes her but she has got to ask him out (make sure its someone that is repulsed by her) and watch on as she is reduced to but a tiny ant

Don't let something like that bug you too much, ma'am. Taking a stab at a question and coming up short is better than not having the guts to even try. I've volunteered and given an incorrect answer thousands of times.

As for the girl who thinks it's amusing when students besides herself don't prove to know everything there is to know, just ignore her. To the people who matter, she's the one who looks foolish.
