So, um, how do you get people to listen to you?
You could ask for choreography tips from that girl who was preaching about dark times. Talking from somewhere high-up seems to be a popular way, too.

I think that depends on the people. But I think being clear and honest is a good start.

Normally, telling them what they want to hear is a good start. What is it you want to say?

I'm not actually sure if that would help... Dancing, or, er, talking from above people. I mean, that sounds like it would make it harder to hear.
I've tried that but, um, maybe you're right. If I talked to them individually or something.
Well, I actually want people to stop doing something. They just, er, don't seem to hear me when I ask them to stop.
Have you tried whispering? People always want to know if they think it's something they're not supposed to.
Um, yeah, they... don't seem to hear me then either. I can try again, though...
I'm not really sure. People can be really stubborn sometimes.
Do you remember my last post? It wasn't just my brother. They haven't, er, actually stopped calling me that...

Being calm and reasonable helps, but if someone has made up their minds, there's not a lot you can do about it.
Are you trying to convince someone of something?

I didn't want to be disruptive, but, maybe you're right, I've been kind of quiet. Er, I'm not sure about yelling, though. Just, a little louder though.
Yes. People at school keep calling me, er, well, it's my name but it's kind of embarrassing, too. I wish they'd stop and I've asked but they never seem to hear me, so. I guess I'll be, ah, firmer and a little louder tomorrow.
If you ever work it out, tell me.
What's up?

If they can't respect your wishes, I'm sure you can find better friends.
Keep talking to them until they finally pay attention to you!
