1. i sympathise about the mouth breather, ugly girl, the jerk, sucky singers in choir, kids who only talk about their drugs, and the smelly kid... as i've sat next to ALL of them in my day. i think we all go through it at one point or another. It's difficult to handle, but we all have to. there are some things you can do in those situations though.
a) ask mouth breather if he is sick... and if he says no be like "really? well i get congested like that too, where i can't breathe through my nose. I have great coughdrops that really help if you'd like me to bring you some" but say it in a nice way. you won't have to bring coughdrops. he'll realize it bugs you and make an effort to stop. and if he doesn't... he probably just CAN'T breathe through his nose (some people can't) and you'll just have to deal.
b) there's really nothing you could do about the ugly girl. i mean, her looks shouldn't bother you in the first place... but if they're unbearable, you might try a compliment like "you have really nice ___ but i think that if you _______ it would accentuate it more." (for instance, if her hair is covering her eyes in that hidious, greasy sort of way).
c) i have much to say about the bad singers. at my school there is a rule that says you cannot make it past a certain choir your freshman year. I got into the highest one i could... but it was still a lower level choir. It was frusterating when kids would sing off key (especially loudly). the trouble is, in the lower level choirs, the director usually encourages the students to sing out... as most of them don't. To that annoying girl in your section who's always a little sharp or a little flat (this is purley talking from prior experience), you need to say something. not just because it annoys you, but because it will benefit your entire choir. Be careful how you do this though... because chances are it could hurt her feelings. try something like "wow, you have a great tone to your voice... but i think that you might not be blending as well. since nobody really is as comfortable to sing as loud as you... maybe you could sing a little quieter, and we'll sing a little louder and meet you halfway." then about those sour notes... there's really no way to say it without sounding bitchy. instead, raise your hand in class and say "I think some of the (insert part here) aren't getting this note. could you please go over it with us?" if he ignores the people hitting it wrong, talk to him after class about it.
d) the jerk in your german class is either flirting with you, or he's just a genuine jerk. Either way, tell him how irritating he's being. say something like "wow, i'm so glad we're all so mature here." he'll probably fight back with some mocking comment, but if you don't let it bother you, he'll stop. If he's more joking around with you, and laughing after he teases you, he probably IS flirting. roll your eyes, and dont' respond to him. he'll get the hint that his technique isn't working.
e) kids who constantly talk about drugs and alcohol are SO annoying. personally, i wouldn't want to get on any of their bad sides, because they come in large numbers and are pretty ruthless. but, if their chatter bothers you alot, you might try something like "yeah, we all know how cool you are because you do drugs, but nobody really wants to hear about it." or, if you want to take the nicer approach, say something like "my friend was talking about that the other day, and a teacher overheard her and called her parents... and now she has to get a drug test. you might not want to talk so loudly about stuff like that or it could happen to you too."
f) there's really nothing you can say to miss smelly without hurting her feelings. Maybe talk to her about this new perfume you got... or something. but really, if she's smelly she probably can't take the hint anyways. try to distance yourself from her.
