I love the advice - treat her with extreme condescension and if that fails moderate her diet to try to control her that way.
You could, you know, talk to her properly or accept that sometimes you have to choose between friends and results

Actually she really doesn't like sweets anyway so I wouldn't imagine that she'd be hyper cos of that. But yes generally she is a pretty hyper person.. I'll try your advice though guys. Thanks alot :)

Yea, the diet thing was a joke.
I don't think you have to choose between your friend or results, you can keep both. I don't really know your friend, but hyper people aren't usually serious. If you're going to have a talk with her though, I recommend it to be around 3pm (this is when our blood sugar drops [seriously])

And here I thought this was meant to be a serious thread. \facepalms
Pretend to be stupid and not know the answers to classwork. Avoid her during recess and secretly do math/english/ work, study etc. Slip some omega 3 oil in her soda whenever she's not looking. ;)

You could try slipping liquid LSD into her drink bottle, she'll be way to busy flipping out because the curtain is attacking her to ask simple maths problems.

“We are all alone, born alone, die alone, we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely -- at least, not all the time -- but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”

One answer: PIMP SLAP
nah jokes, just tell her that you're focussing/concentrating and for her to ask the teacher? If that doesn't work call the teacher and say "Sir/Miss, my friend *insert name here* has a question! Could you help her please?"

"James has done all the work required of him, but only at home. In class his hyperactive behaviour prevented him from doing much work. He needs to learn to use class time more efficiently."

Here I thought being a distraction to others was a good thing. >_<

To be honest, my friends and I don't give a damn throughout the year. We're either hating on each other, busy with school and commitments or general drifting apart.

It sucks but oh well, life's life.

haha when my friends ask me those type of questions, well, I'm usually sitting in the front row with them and I tell my friend "you should be asking the teacher" and then the teacher props up and helps my friend while she gives me a ":|" look. Although there are times I do help if they are not as "simple" or if I have nothing to do~
