Question

How can you know what someone else is thinking?

Community Answer

Really, you cannot. Half the time you can't be sure of the entirety of your own thoughts. You can just guess what the person is thinking at that moment based on the context, their actions and the things happening to them. Balance this with the chances of being right as to how much you know the person. Sometimes telling a person you know what they're thinking is actually about persuading them to realize that your guess at their thoughts is actually their top concern!

Question

How do I deal with smart bullies?

Community Answer

Ignore them. By not showing any emotion toward them, you will make them think all their effort is wasted. This will make them disgruntled and they will eventually stop.

Question

My brother is very smart, and I can't figure out how to stump him in a history duel. How can I outsmart him?

Community Answer

You can't outsmart him without knowing more than him. Knowing more than him will help you stump him. So, research some areas of history he isn't knowledgeable about, and then stump him.

Question

How can I outsmart the smartest kid in my class?

Community Answer

It depends. if you're trying to get better marks than them, study up. But, if you only want to outsmart them, use an issue you know a lot about and don't think they know about.

Question

How do I deal with bullies?

Community Answer

Ignore them. They don't matter. However, if they cause too much trouble or get physical, you should inform parents, teachers or whoever is in charge or can be trusted.
