There are many times when people say things and all you want to do is tell them how you really feel. Then there are times when you should just stay quiet to keep from starting a war. Here are ten times when staying quiet might be the best thing to do.

1. When you're in a sorority and people say you are paying for your friends. Let’s be honest, we’re paying for t-shirts and formals. Everything else is just a bonus.
2. When people say you don’t know what you’re talking about when you clearly do. Sometimes it’s better to just agree to disagree.
3. When people disagree with your political party, unless you really want to ruin your day the best thing to do is just nod your head and keep quiet.
4. When people call you a smart ass, don't help their case and reply with something rude. Just bite your tongue.
5. If something you want to say is going to hurt someones feelings, remember, there are some things people should know and then, there are things that are better off left unsaid.
6. The subject of football or sports in general seems to just get everyones blood boiling. If you're talking to someone and they say your team sucks just tell them they suck and move on with your day.
7. When people make “your mom” jokes. The fact that they even say that phrase makes you the more mature one so be proud of that.
8. If someone tells you that your major will take you no where in life. Just laugh, but know that one day you'll most likely be more successful than them. Then we’ll see who’s laughing and driving the sports car.
9. When people say you are trashy for having a tattoo. It was your choice, not theirs. Remind them not to judge someone until they have walked in their shoes.
10. When rude people brag about themselves, instead of calling them all the names you want to just stay calm and know that they are actually just insecure.

The bottom line is always be the bigger person. It will make your life a whole lot easier.
