How persuasive are you in different contexts? Like, how well can you debate in a formal setting? Or how easily can you get a friend to help you out with something? In essays?

I can't debate at all. Someone ends up saying something before I do and I get freaked out by all the people looking at me.
 I am quite persuasive when it comes to doing it another way. I whine if I have to. I own at writing persuasive essays.

 I'm like, annoyingly persistent, and I usually can bug the hell out of whoever I want to do something for me. I'm not that great at writing essays (or anything for that matter) - I can think up of good points to debate, but I can't put it together cohesively and/or stay on topic.

Same as Andie with the second half of her post: I can come up with points to debate, but I have trouble backing them up. It takes me a littlee while to come up with evidence to support my points, but when I do it's pretty good. I got good grades on the persuasive essays I wrote this year and last year.

Haha, if I ever need help most people are usually there with open arms. I've always been extremely helpful so a lot of people always say that they owe me, so if I ever need help and its something their great at. Their there before I even ask
 I'm horrible at writing essays I suppose, bad enough that my English teacher gave me a 55 on one XD.I'm pretty good at debating in real life, online I tend to get a little off topic I think. |

It's okay, I got a 0 (out of 4 on the country scale) for one I did (luckily not on a text
) on one of my ECRs because I didn't stay on topic. I'm a bad writer.

I guess I'm pretty good at debating. Sometimes it's hard to look at the other side, though. I usually end up helping my friends out with stuff. I'm really good at writing speeches, so a couple of my friends who are Sophmores have me help them. It's odd, really, because I'm such a quiet person at school, but once I get up there and start my speech I own

I put a knife to their throat (a gun to their head sometimes) so they really don't have a choice.
