it’s been my observation that “cool people” don really survive well in the world post h.s. they don really know how to cope with a world that doesn’t revolve around them.

oh my gosh, I don’t know what to say. Inaction is an omission to act which is just as bad as acting… sigh, when will people learn? I am proud to be a nerd, nerdy, what have you. I am a person, and I am proud of what I have become. Heck, I even made my own pocket protector to parties a few years ago as a statement that being “nerdy” isn’t a bad thing at all (which a lot people still do not realize) I don’t care about being cool, or coming off as this or that. I remember I was back in middle school a long time ago, and I was hanging out with the bunch of kids who would become the “cool” “popular” kids in high school. I was bright child, so I knew that whichever “group” I joined would dicate how high school would be… well, one day these kids started ripping and making fun of another kid who wasn’t part of the group. I got angry, told them off, and left that group never to talk to them again. The other kid and I became really good friends.

I’m sure that the last two commenters find great comfort in those viewpoints, sort of the way in which the bullies liked picking on the tormented. In any case, your little story reminded me of how much I hate everything. I’m sorry that you experienced such pains. For the record, I was almost outside that traditional struggle, and freely associated with the picked-on and outcast and with the people open enough to do the same with someone who associated with the tormented. At least in my freshman year, before the picked-on found better friends like Larry (Q.).

It’s sad how people have to pick on the less physical/aggressive types in order to make them feel better. … but know this.. those nerds….
are probably going to be those bully’s boss in the future. they will be asking “would you like fries w/ that” FK em.
being on the football team in HS and being also in the math club, associating w/ both types of people, didn’t need to worry about bullies.

I got picked on when I was a kid, but I had one thing that the people who picked on me never had. Wit. If you can talk your way to win the fight, there will be greater rewards than physical solutions because the impression you'll leave will be long lasting. Not to say that a fist won't do that either, but I guess it's just a little bit better. As for being a nerd/geek, I think I doomed myself to that position ever since I was young. I never chose to try to hang with the cool crowd, but instead tried to reach out to those who are made fun of and teased upon. I was a nerd/geek defended of sorts. Thats why I became geek by association, similardf to the way that person who said "becos if i do.. i'll be the joke for the rest of the year. " Well. I chose that path and I have no regrets. I am still friends with the people I befriended to this very day, and you know what? I am happy that I did. Because outcasts are good people. Not all, but I find that people who lack the ability to be superficial to be super friends. Good friends. One thing I CAN NOT STAND, are groups of people/cliques/friends that start looking like each other. Yanno, the kind that hangs out with each other because of their looks and not because of their personality. What's the point when you can't differentiate between the people you know? But generally speaking, nerdom is something that has never been entirely scorned throughout my life as a person. I guess somehow through the miracle of being able to win the hearts of the masses, the collective group that is, a "class", that I grew up with, from elementry, to high school, to even college, never had an overwhelming bully problem. Thats cause people I know are too smart to fuck with so called nerds. They know better than to do that, cause there is no reason to. They only fuck with hard ass loud talkers and problem people that deserve it. And thats the way it should be. Listening to your story, I really feel bad about your past. If I could I would turn back time, and go back to kick these people's asses, or more along the lines of my true self, make them feel utter embaraassment for the rest of their lives. I am good at that. I don't even know what I talked so much in this post. Sorry.

i read this post and it so bought me back to middle school. my experience was similar to yours except it was with girls. and i would say the same thing you would if you saw them…but i would probably rip off their faces in the process.
