  1. I don't think that it is ever really right to show off. When people show off it's mean, it seems like you only care about yourself and it can bring other peoples self esteem down. You can easily hurt other peoples feelings and emotions. There is not really a point to show off anything. All it does is makes people feel bad and hurt. Being happy and showing off are 2 completely different things.

  2. I think it is only alright to show off to someone who purposely makes you mad and always shows off to you. Personally i think that showing off is unnecessary because it is like you just have to show everything you have to everyone who might not have it and it is really pointless. You can make a lot of jealousy that way and you can also make people dislike you. The only time that is good to show off is when you have been saving up for something for a long time and then you can brag a bit to your friends because you will feel really proud and they might be happy for you. In general just don't be a brat and brag about everything and try not to show off. Be nice to others and only show off when it's "alright" to.

  3. I'm sure we all have moments when we feel like telling everyone things we have achieved or things we got and there's nothing wrong with that. It's alright to be proud/happy with the stuff you got or have done. I still think there should be a limit though. It is a horrible thing to show off just to make someone jealous or cause sadness to others. People usually do this because they are not confident with themselves so they try bringing others down. That is pointless. As long as you are doing it because you are happy about something its fine. There are times though where you don't mean to hurt someone's feelings but they take it the wrong way which is also a bad thing. You should be happy with the things you have. In conclusion, showing off is sometimes alright as long as you do it for the right reasons.

  4. Honestly in general I don't think it's right to show off all the time or definetly not to people who struggle wih whatever you're bragging about, like a test.If you're bragging constantly as well, I don't think it is right and eventually people do'nt want to be around you, if all you do is brag about yourselves. On several I think it is alright if you show off your achievements a little. If someone is making you feel like you aren't able to do something and you succed then I think it's fine to brag a little. In general I don't think it is right to brag constantly.

  5. The only time its okay to show off is when someone has done to you plenty of times and it really annoys you,then yes its the right time.Some people to it all the time and it really annoys people and nobody likes that and they won't like you.

  6. The only time you can brag about something is if you won HUGE HUGE HUGE game that your proud of and you want to tell people. But if your bragging about how rich you are or how you have nicer clothes then everyone than that mean. Also if you have a very best friend and your bragging but your friend knows its a joke that's ok otherwise don't brag

  7. There is a difference between showing off and telling someone about something you are good at. If you are showing off, It kind of makes you feel bad about yourself, I would hate it if someone who show off about something they know I'm struggling with. But if you are just telling someone some good news or something like that, yeah it's ok. It's not like you are saying to them that you are better than them.

  8. I my opinion it is only appropriate to show off when the person your taunting is your friend and if he would not get mad at you for it. It is not right to taunt when you know the other person will get mad. You should not taunt in competitive sports because if you do you are saying to your opponent that they suck and you are so much better than them and that will get them mad and they can do a dirty play and hurt you or you teammate.

  9. I don't really believe in showing off. I don't think it is appropriate to brag about something and then make the other person feel bad. It's ok to tell someone that you did something very well or you achieved something. Yes that's okay but to continue saying it over and over again might get on the other persons nerves and they become upset with you. I think it's okay to celebrate if you score a goal or something but not anything to much because then people may consider you as a show off. Yes it is important to be proud of yourself when you achieve something, but not too much.

  10. I would say that there are many times that you can show off. I mean it feels really good to show off, to make you look the best, to have the attention, the glory. If you aced a test and you are very happy, go ahead tell people. Just make sure you don't say it too much. I mean some people are very sensitive, so just know who you can show off too, know your limits. If you have a girlfriend, or your getting married, go ahead. Make people know how happy you are. Every one deserves to show off, at least just a little. But taunting, that's another story. Don't ever imitate, insult, or tease someone. It isn't right. Leave it to yourself. There is a difference between showing off and taunting, keep that in mind.

  11. I think It's ok to show of it makes competitive, it makes the person you beat want to beat you so they train and become better, so when they battle against you again they might beat you. It's not ok to show off when your rubbing it in there face, and then they never want to battle ever again because of that person. It also applies to this year and age people show off in sports, academics and so much more but like I said If you you off to much to that person they will give up on the subject. Like if you want to show just do it once or twice not twenty times a day, seven days a week. Because the person you would say this to will feel really bad.

  12. I think Its fun to see people show off at soccer games, hockey games because it makes the game so much more entertaning but i dont like the idea of people showing off when it is not necery like at a good grade when you beat someone at something.
