My classmates are intimidating.

My friend and I enrolled in a graduate study for this semester. Our professor told us that we were the youngest in the class. On the first day, we were given topics to be reported. We opted for the first topic since it was the easiest. This day, my friend reported on her topic which was supposed to be discussed for only a few minutes but lasted for an hour. It was because she was most of the time interfered by many of our classmates. Some of them even asked questions which were too way advanced to be discussed. Our professor told them to stick on the report and not go too far. At the end of the report, my friend just informed the class that our topic was completely new to us. Most of our classmates have already been in the different government agencies for a long time. Experience-wise, they are really more knowledgeable. However, is there a need to flaunt to us that what we know is limited compared with theirs? My report was rescheduled for next year. I have a plenty of time to prepare for it. I am quite nervous toward my other classmates because of what I witnessed this morning. Some of them even give looks as if they were belittling students like us.
