I have been here on two accounts(Dont worry mods, new Ip and stuff) for nearly two years, and the chaps here seem quite well versed in the sonnet of life. I need some advice on how to deal with a certain type of person, she follows a general archtype, but specifically this person. Essentially shes does marijuana, always goes out and does "things" shes one of those rebellious kids, but she really is rebelious, she basically does whatever the hell she wants with no remorse and is definately not goingto graduate. Everytime we talk in piano class in first period she turns everything into debate, she disagrees with everything I say, and it gets annoying having to constantly make sure I say things rite. you know like saying most instead of all, and kindov instead of definately, she argues EVERY little detail of everything, its just so hard to have a normal conversation with her, how do I deal with these kinds of people ye epitaphs of knowledge.
 
Ignore her existance

or send her here ;)
 
You tell her to bugger off.

Why do you need to keep a good relationship with her?
 
shut up and accept that not everyone agrees with you or is nice.

and i wonder why you mention she smokes marijuana, it has nothing to do with anything else.

you give this person enough rope to hang themselves and then burn the barn down.
 
First off, you shouldn't have said you have 2 accounts. You just earned yourself a long, maybe permanent vacation for that statement.
 
I don't think you understand captain justice, I changed IPs in the course of that time, so i got a new account because I didn't understand the internet at the time and I thought I had to have the same account, as for why the relationship is important, its not, I just wish I had a way to shut these kind of anti-everything people up. also, her smoking marijuana was to signify that this wasn't joe anarchy, this girl really is one of those rebellious "I don't care what everyone thinks people" not one of the kids who wants to be.

Alright then, don't deal with these people. Just keep away from them. Ignore them. You don't need to deal with these people then there's no reason for you to find a way to shut them up cause usually the only people who can do so are themselves.

haha, if everyone who smoked weed was really "rebellious" then the entire world would be one big revolution.

anyways, just don't talk to her.

Well, here in the U.S its illegal, and not everyone does it, I was just using it to further illustrate her completel disregard for pretty much everything.

But lets assume folks here for a second that I had to deal with her, how would you suggest I go about it.

to be a rebel it would have to be uncommon. just because she does something illegal doesnt mean she's a rebel.

and i see no reason why you would "have" to deal with her so the point is moot.

The way you describe it, she doesn't want to be dealt with. Can you give us any more details on why you have to? When I have to deal with someone like that I just refuse to play their game, and cede every argument. "You're totally right, I don't know what I'm talking about." It drives 'em crazy, but what are they going to say?
 
Or obliterate their petty arguments by arrogantly stating how stupid it is and making them feel like they're beneath you... ;)
 
Whatever you do, just remember you can't change people, you can only change yourself

She's not going to go away unless you do something drastic (which I am not necessarily recommending

And that is why I simply avoided having the petty argument in the first place by making the question hypothetical, i don't want to deal with this person, but lets say I'm in a situation where I have to. As for the marijuana thing, again, it was to illustrate her rebeliousness, whether you think its rite or wrong doesnt matter,
it is still illegal, it also doesnt matter how few or how many rebels there are, they are still rebels, look at the french revolution, or the russian revolution, there were many rebels and they were still called rebels. She is rebelious against the law for doing marijuana, a point I used to further illustrate her I dont give a damn about anything attitude towards everything.

you shut them up by saying "i dont talk to homeless people, present or future"
 
Try to get her into bed. (which is what you're really after isn't it? ;) )

If you succeed she'll probably be nicer to you.
If you fail she'll probably avoid you.
