There's this chick in my class who acts cute so other guys can do her work. I have no problem with that except she won't stop talking. She constantly YELLS "How do I do this question" or "I don't know what to do next" every two minutes. That lil bugger is irritating the sh*t out of me and I can't think straight (one of the reasons for my low GPA this term). Even my neighboring classmates think so too. What can I do to let her know that she needs to jump off a bridge or dice her tongue out without hurting her feelings?
BTW, this is not a crush. I'm sure you've met someone like this too.

stfu = shut the f*ck up
I don't want to offend her because her helpers/slaves are my good friends and I don't want them to see me as a loser (because I yelled at a hot chick).

thanks for your guys' help but I don't think going to a higher power will resolve anything. She's been told to be quiet many times but she is half brain dead so sound only goes out, not in.

If you try to tell her yourself, she might not listen to you.. It might make her more stubborn depending on her personality. I wouldn't expect anything out of someone who doesn't have common sense in the first place. I'd advice you to have a serious talk with your instructor. Explain to him/her the situation and how it's effecting your grades and your concentration and to keep you anonymous. 90% of the time, instructors take the problem into consideration. Now if your instructor doesn't solve the problem, then you may need to see someone superior to your instructor to fix this problem. Hope that helps.. Good luck and best wishes.

Think about this, she is stupid not daft, she is bleating like a lost lamb and is getting her work done for her.
If she is as thick as you make out there is nothing you are going to say will offend her.
Just tell her that most of the people in the class suspect she is thick so keep her mouth closed or it will just prove the fact.
This is the sort of person that is going to grow up, marry a millionaire and still be as thick as a cabbage.

There will always be distracting loud mouths everywhere you go.
You just need to learn to tune them out.
I know it is very hard but it is impossible to train or drop hints to those buffoons.
I work in an office and there are many people there who are so loud all day, some of them sing, some of them complain all day, some play their radio too loud.
I have moved a couple of times but there is always somebody too loud for me.
Do your best to ignore it.

Go to your instructor, if that does no good, go to the dean of that particular school. And next time, don't wait until the semester is almost over. Nip it in the bud. There may also be a peer conflict resolution group at your school if you want to try that route.

Why are you worried about hurting her feelings? She obviously has no respect for anyone in the room. I'm also curious why the teacher allows it. Just tell her plain out she is disrupting other peoples concentration while trying to work and could she keep quiet.

Let the instructor know- does the instructor not notice?? THem doing her work does not teach her a thing- and is disturbing others in class- leave the instuctor a note- that should shut her up=D

Seeing as how the class is not under your control, it's not your job to address the situation. Speak to the instructor about how her boisterous behavior is affecting your performance. Then leave it at that and do your best to tune her out.

I'd help her out but give her all the wrong answers! But then again, that might not make her shut up, it may make it worse. Just something to think about. Good luck.

Ask the teacher or lecturer if they can tell the person to keep it down during class time.

"Dixie, I'm sorry you're having so much trouble with the assignments. When you ask for help so loudly I get distracted and it makes it hard for me to do my work. Would you mind asking for help more quietly?"
