Whispering should be banned.

I was Jack in The Importance of Being Earnest. Yeah, we're studying it in literature, I had to read the last part of the last act... the one which contained the most important line in the whole play. I'm surprised how well I read it out... I thought everyone thought it was crap... because as I was reading, I heard the chick next to me whispering to someone else, and I heard my name said and they were both smiling. But then after I was done, and I read out that awesome line at the end ("on the contrary, Lady Bracknell, I've now realised for the first time in my life, the vital importance of being Earnest") I did it with a surprising amount more expression than I thought was in me... the two girls were looking at me, and I asked them how I went... and they said I did it really well but they were whispering about me while I was reading? ... sheet, I really hate that, I can't tell if I did it well or made an ass of myself

Whispering should be illegal.

That is all.

For all you know they were whispering about that cute boy in the corner. Don't let your imagination go into overdrive and start imagining the worst possible case.

They said my name. And we were sitting in a circle

I also think that it should be banned. Girls used to whisper, every time that I'd walk passed them. It didn't matter who the girls were. The thing that bothered me, was that the girls who were in the Learning Centre for the same few blocks that I was alo in, did that to me, as well. No wonder I've hated High School, so much. No wonder I've spend my evenings and weekends, at home.

Whispering gives me ticks... I would rather people shout then whisper.

Some of my former freinds did that to me. I know how you feel. I think because their different then us, they think it's okay. And we won't notice, but we do, and it hurts.

for all you know, they were pleasantly surprised, and were admiring you. Chat 'em up...

I find whispering pointless as it is better 2 say it in a louder voice dat way ur expressing urself.

Whispering is rude. But they did say your name, so maybe one of them is interested in you. Maybe both?

I agree, when people whisper around me I would much rather they shout, even if it is something rude about me so at least I know what it was and don't think it is something worse.

The only thing worse is when they start giggling about something and you don't know what it is. I know its probably got nothing to do with me, but I still can't help feeling paranoid whenever that kind of thing happens, always feel like they're laughing at me.

I agree, giggling is even worse. I don't like either whispering and giggling. Both are designed to exclude. I am extremely uncomfortable around people who engage in both, even if they are not talking about me, precisely because you don't know. It's sneaky; you can't defend yourself; and if you say anything, why, you are paranoid.

There are several women in the "cube farm" where I work who giggle and whisper all day long. I haven't a clue as to what they find so amusing in their section. It's probably very innocent, but still . . . Why not share with the rest of us? They may be very nice, but can I trust them? Even if I am not their target now, what is to say I won't be in the future?

i agree, i dont like it either however if its in a song about the darkend terrian i fully support whispering
