Giving your opinion
I'm usually an opinionated person. If the class is talking about something, I usually state my opnion even if I'm not asked. One of my teachers said that people shouldn't give their opinons if it isn't asked for. Is that true?

Maybe give some free advice about: Etiquette?
I think it's that maybe it all depends and he/she doesn't want to devote class time to debating every single little thing. You can state your opinion when not asked but see if it's an appropriate time and topic to talk.

Hello there,
There are VERY few things you can do that will go further towards improving how well you get along with others, than curbing this habit.
Eliminating it all together is a tall order, I know... very, very well.
If you have amassed a greater store of knowledge than your acquaintances, then you are in an unenviable position in most conversations.
The problem with knowing more than average is that you feel compelled to tell ANYONE who will listen.
The sad fact is that many people would rather die ignorant of a given fact, than hear it from someone they didn't ask for an answer.
Emily Post wrote a nifty book on etiquette some time ago. If you read it, you will probably be the only one you know who has, it answers this and thousands of other questions... many of which are relevant today.
Short version: You will, 100% guaranteed, improve how other people feel about you if you learn to bite your tongue. It will not be easy.
DN.
P.S. If you have NOT amassed a store of knowledge vastly beyond your years... there may be a reason people don't want to hear from you. Sorry, couldn't resist. ;-)

sadly, yes it is true.
You shouldn't give someone your opinion, if they aren't asking for it. It only leads to a lot of trouble, especially if you guys have different views on such a matter.
Just try paying attention to when you should speak your mind & when it is appropriate not to.

If it is a rhetorical question then no you shouldn’t but when you are talking about a subject and everyone is stating an opinion there is no problem with it even if he/she didn’t ask you so yes and no but mostly no I hope I helped.

I'm also an opinionated person but really, keep some things to yourself... it'll save you a buttload of trouble, especially at school. i mean its good to have strong opinion but when its not necessary, don't state it. it's part of maturing... knowing when its right and when it's wrong to give your opinion. so he's right... to a point. <3

That is not all that true. I love it when people throw in their comments, that's what makes a good conversation. Maybe it's just because your in a classroom and your teacher is a hard-ass?(: could be! but don't get me wrong it is kind of different in a class room. your obviously an opiniated person but just keep it out of the classroom because some teachers are gay and don't like that haha. but if i were you i'd just be quiet, just so you don't get kicked out of the classroom for a retarded reason and get detention or something gay like that!
