Please Don't think i'm stupid. Okay, I got this new computer last year, and when I would try to turn it on, it wouldn't ork. So, my friend knew alot about computers so she came over my house to see what the problem was.
It turns out that the whole time, I only had a monitor, not the actual computer (I know it's stupid). So she told everyone at school what happened and that i didn't know anything.
How can I convince everyone that I'm not stupid? Please don't be mean.

people use the word stupid to describe someone that does something they consider dumb. its a put down. just ignore it, its not even worth arguing or stressing over. as for your friend she is not really your friend. if she were your friend she just would of laughed about it with u only and not make u look like an idiot in front of everyone.
just earlier this week a coworker had tissue paper sticking out of his pants. i informed him about it and had a good laugh about it. i did tell my other coworkers about it but i did not tell them who it was. i didn't even say if it was male/female or a visitor or worker.

It doesn't matter whether they think you're stupid, only whether you do.
I would just laugh it off and make a joke of it. So you didn't know a lot about computers, so what?! Everyone does silly things - if you are able to laugh at yourself, you'll be much happier.
After a while it will blow over and people will stop talking about it. In the meantime, just study hard and do your best.

Do what I do........I tell people that I am a computer dork
and not in a good way. That is a nice way to make fun of
yourself and still be honest about the situation. Also, people
find it less fun to make fun of people when it doesn't bother
the person. Basically, you make fun of yourself first and they
will get bored and stop.
Also, I am guessing that there is something that you are good
at that your friend is not so good at........maybe point out
her faults to her and ask her how she would feel if you told
the whole school about when she did something stupid.
Good luck and DON'T feel stupid........it totally sounds like
something I would do and there are ALOT of us out there.

You just told the whole world you're not stupid and I believe you. If you heard of some of things I've done with PCs you wouldn't stop laughing for a week. I think I deleted my own modem one time. Everybody can remember the first time they saw a PC. I still make big mistakes every day.

People know different things. My 22 year old son knows lots about computers. He start babbling about all sorts of techy stuff and it's Greek to me. All I know is that I turn it on and it's suppose to work. I know how to use some software too. I'm not dumb!
However, he can't balance a checkbook. If I start talking about taxes or the law, he know no clue. He's not dumb!
Calm down and enjoy the computer!

Not to be mean, but proper spelling and grammar would be a good step. How about this, strive to get good grades in all your classes. If you don't know much about computers, that doesn't make you stupid. Just as I don't know much about soccer. It certainly doesn't make me stupid, just something that I don't know much about. Just strive on being academically successful and then no one can say anything but good things about your intelligence.

Sometimes we just need to laugh at ourselves. Everyone does something stupid every once in a while. Not everybody knows everything. That's impossible. Just laugh it off and it will eventually die down.

lol, funny :).
I don't think your stupid, just maybe don't know anything about computers. xD
Just try and find it funny that you did it, Alot of people at my school used to think i was stupid because i say alot of stupid things, (and act stupid xD). I still do, but since i laugh with them they realize im not stupid...
im sorry i dont know what exactly you can do, but just dont react when people call you stupid.

YOU CANT CONVINCE PEOPLE YOU ARE NOT STUPID. you have to show people, so find something you know lots about and hopefully you will prove yourself. And in the future if you dont know about something that will make you look stupid ask someone that wont judge you
