I am a nerd. what do i do?

<p>i care a lot about school, but it does not necessarily mean that's all i care about. i know a lot of hockey and soccer and i know every single popular pop song that comes on the radio. kids still make fun of me in school. i have only two friends in the school. i join clubs and try to open to others, but still no one want to be my friend. i have 3 years left of high school. i feel that i might not make it and quit high school, because i am literally being tortured!!!!!!</p>

<p>kids are dumb. Don’t worry about them.</p>

<p>“To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.”</p>

<p>Hang with us.</p>

<p>Seriously, I have to tell you something. I am/was? one of those popular kids. I’ve started to ditch MANY of my friends, and mind you, they’re all cool, hot preppy kids, but they aren’t fun to hang out with. I’m starting to get bored about hearing what Brooke did with Arjen at Andrew’s party last night, and it’s all stupid,superficial gossipgirl wannabe’s(I HATE that show!). I’ve always wanted to be a nerd (I know this sounds lame, but I was forbiden to be like nerdy things or my friends would have ditched me), and just now I’m realizing that I don’t care about my reputation. I shouldn’t have to hide if I like Star Wars or Monty Python, or if I play Halo, or if I just like to look up diseases for fun. I’ll tell you, you probably have more REAL friends than me =( I only have one true best friend, and we’re about to just ditch the whole crowd in general, because chances are, if we sticked with them, we’d end up working for people like you =)</p>

<p>Hope that helped!</p>

<p>Oh, and just to let you know, you shouldn’t listen to the same music as everyone else just because its “cool”. Listen to whatever YOU like!</p>

<p>Ignore them . Some people are idiots and they’ll only learn their lesson when it’s too late. Next year just stick with your friends, talk to some others, and keep you head held high. At the end of high school, you’ll have the last laugh :)</p>

<p>When I’m hating high school, I just think “this is only 4 years of my life.” I know it sounds like a super long time right now, but when you think about it, you’re going to have 60years after it! So I just think about doing well right now, and even though life’s not great at the moment, if I succeed now, life’s gonna be AWESOME in the 60 years after high school.</p>

<p>Keep working hard, and ignore those kids. You’ll be their boss some day. (Which is totally cliched, but true!)</p>

<p>Like Liverpool said, you probably have more real friends than him. </p>

<p>lol liverpool- Halo and infectious diseases hahaha
and ppl don’t think star wars is cool? wuuuutttt???</p>

<p>uhh, Padolf, I’m a girl =) but you’re right about the friend thing haha.</p>

<p>and yeah, i’m a pretty odd person ■■■■■. :blush: i want to major in biology, i just find it interesting. viruses are my favourite, im currently looking into complex structures (:
AND YEAH! I’ve converted SOME of my friends to starwars fans, but the others think im crazy. are they not the greatest movies of all time?</p>

<p>they are not</p>

<p>Well, they are some of the greatest movies of all time.</p>

<p>Also, I agree, just do what you love doing and hang out with others that have your interests. Best way to enjoy high school. Also, looking up random sciencey topics is one of my favorite pastimes. I’m looking up algae right now because I might be doing it for science fair, depending how interesting it is. =]</p>

<p>question: for star wars fans, did you notice that on the remastered edition of return of the jedi, its anakin’s ghost, not vader’s???</p>

<p>=) thank you.
and I know all about algae, I had to do a seminar about kingdom protista last year, they were pretty boring, not going to lie =) the rest of the protists were cool, though.</p>

<p>^ YES! I was pretty grossed out with anakins ghost, not going to lie. I own the re-mastered versions, other than that, theyre cool :)</p>

<p>Oh, sorry (:</p>

<p>I noticed it as well. I was confused the first time I saw it.</p>

<p>Re invent yourself as the supercool. Take cues from this by watching the New Guy/Kid. (excellent film)</p>

<ol>
<li>Buy a motorcycle</li>
<li>Drive it to school</li>
<li>Gain muscles (testerone injections help- steroids is a nasty word)</li>
<li>Join a sport</li>
<li>Beat up random people because you feel like it- this fits in with your roid rage</li>
<li>Stop taking so nmany honors classes ( going to a good college- who needs it. SCrew that ! Live for the monent)</li>
<li>Find out where all the best parties are</li>
<li>Go to all of them</li>
<li>Get drunk at all of them</li>
<li>hook up with as many girls as you can see through your alcohol induced haze</li>
<li>Stop posting here- all the hours here will not make you friends</li>
<li>Ditch your nerdy- albeit “true” friends. Friends/scmendz- who cares</li>
<li>Go to jail for some minor incident- at least once. Do try not to kill anyone- will you?</li>
<li># 13 will help show that you are a bad*** even though you will have destroyed all your prospects for a job</li>
<li>Find some way to make ooodles of cash and throw the hottest parties</li>
<li>Only agree with whatever the popular kids agree with</li>
<li>Alternatively you could sell your soul to the devil for popularity if none of this works</li>
<li> Be willing to do whatever it takes</li>
</ol>

<p>i followed my advice and now am a happy little girl in community college with no major- I party every night though and have lost count of my hookups.</p>

<p>AS IF !!! GOD FORBID!!!</p>

<p>You are obviously not willing to sell your soul for popularity - so embrace your inner nerd. I’m sure he needs a hug right now.</p>

<p>Couldn’t resist making a joke of this.
Sorry!!</p>

<p>You seem better off. I mean, why have a bunch of friends? Why not just a few good friends? You are on a good track and after high school you’re going to be thanking yourself. I have always been considered the nerd kid at my school… people think I have no social life. It’s really funny because these are the people who think spending 4 hours a day with band is a social life. Anyway, good luck and just keep truckin’</p>

<p>Living well is the best revenge. You define “well,” and go for it.</p>

<p>Be a nerd dude. High School Social Scene is the biggest heap of ******** in the civilized world and not something you should pay attention to. Be you. Those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.</p>
