How to not be ignored?

Question

I'm in high school, as a Junior, and people always say I'm the quiet girl, but when I speak up, I'm immediatly ignored, which gets on my nerves quite a bit -wouldn't anyone?-.

I don't know why I'm being ignored and I figured I'd ask random people to see what they think. It'd be nice to know that my honors english class thinks I actually exist with emphasis.

Answer 1

It's just something people have to adjust to. Keep speaking up, they will get used to the idea that you aren't the "quiet" girl, and start listening to you. Furthermore, you have to think about the mentality of high schoolers in general, especially girls--when they are talking about anything, it's really about "me me me" and who is paying attention to what I say. So, just keep doing it.  

Answer 2

you sound really full of yourself.  maybe thats why they ignore you.  i swear im not even trying to be mean, its just that you specifically stated that your in "honors" english, maybe that was just an extra detail but in reading your question you seem really conceited.

i stand out because i try to make people laugh/smile.  you sound smart and as long as you voice your opinions inside AND outside the classroom people will take notice.

Answer 3

same here too.

I think all you got to do is to project your voice.

Answer 4

I used to have the same prob in high school. I figured out that I spoke to quietly even when  I thought I wasn't. You ever had someone say something to you and you didn't hear them and yet you didn't want to say "what?" so you either ignored them-or pretended not to hear them-or you just nodded or something? I think that's prolly what's happening with you. So try speaking even louder;)

Answer 5

there's nothing wrong with being quiet and if your being ignored try to be more confident and try to start a conversation.

Answer 6

talk normal and if they ignore you raise your voice

don't conform by being ignored.may b they can't hear you.

Answer 7

It's high school home of the fads. That's why...
