Ignore Your Problems, They Will Eventually Go Away. Of course, this doesn't apply to everything - for example, ignoring a bullet flying at 250 metres a second flying towards your forehead wont make it go away... Then again you'll soon be too dead to notice. I digress. I have had good evidence to support my theory so far, and if you'll bear with me i'll get to it.

It all started 2 years ago during my first year of college. One of the courses I had taken was French. I enjoyed it as a subject before then but the new teachers had drained any fun there once was from it, like sucking milk from a coconut. As a concequence I became somewhat disruptive in class. The Head of Faculty Mr. H extracted me from a lesson one day to tell me that effectively he was going to kick me off the course and that I should go and see him at the end of the day. The day passed and my encounter with him had completely passed my mind. I went home without talking to him. I continued to complete the course (Eventually failing it) without hearing another word about it.

Avoid Conflict. Arguing with people over petty differences is a complete waste of time. I myself am easy going but not everyone is. I often find people that desperately need to have their own way at any cost and I've developed a system of dealing with them, it's not foolproof but it's good. 1. Negotiate and Compromise - Talk to them on their level, don't obviously try and bend it your way, instead you should try and meet in the middle.
2. Use Logic, Reasoning and avoid Conjecture - If you can construct an valid explanation for what you want, and why they are completely wrong. I've often found this stops aggressors dead in their tracks. Try this out - Ask a Korn fan why their favourite band is good, with legitimate reasoning and most of them stare at you dumbfounded. That or say "They're really good so shut up".
